I didn't run away. I just left. There's a difference, and no one in this place seems to care about it.
Twelve-year-old Jules knows she's not crazy. She knows her mother lies. She knows the difference between running away and leaving, and she knows cigarettes aren't a drug. What she doesn't know yet is that none of that will matter once the doors lock behind her.
Inside, the adults in charge have their own reasons for keeping her there, and every true thing Jules says seems to count against her. The system that's supposed to help her needs something from her. It doesn't need the truth.
This is the story of a girl who keeps telling the truth in a place that has already decided not to believe her, and of what she learns to become when she stops.
Jules is a novel inspired by true events.
