One Wrong Accusation. One Man Determined to Be Heard.
Abe Josef loses everything when he's framed. Now he must navigate a world that already decided his fate - and fight back on his own terms.
When Abe is pulled out of a line-up for a crime he didn't commit, the consequences reach far beyond a single courtroom. Stripped of his scholarship at the elite Tower University and labeled dangerous by the very people who once praised him, Abe vows to become the suits' worst nightmare. But the path from righteous anger to meaningful resistance is messy: allies fail him, loyalties fracture, and a string of bad choices lands him behind bars. Turnaround Summer follows Abe through a gritty, electric cityscape populated by overlooked heroes - a quiet classmate who sees him differently, a posse of street writers who keep memory alive with spray paint and verse, and a father whose failures are as human as they are painful. Pat Mooney Sweet weaves a sharply observed coming-of-age story about identity, institutional power, and the small acts of courage that can change a life. For readers who love tense, character-driven fiction with moral complexity and pulse-pounding stakes.
