Welcome to Litsy!

Heart-wrenching and real, Juvie tells the story of two sisters grappling with accountability, sacrifice � and who will be there to help you after you take the fall. Sadie Windas has always been the responsible one � she�s the star player on her AAU basketball team, she gets good grades, she dates a cute soccer player, and she tries to help out at home. Not like her older sister, Carla, who leaves her three-year-old daughter, Lulu, with Aunt Sadie while she parties and gets high. But when both sisters are caught up in a drug deal � wrong place, wrong time � it falls to Sadie to confess to a crime she didn�t commit to keep Carla out of jail and Lulu out of foster care. Sadie is supposed to get off with a slap on the wrist, but somehow, impossibly, gets sentenced to six months in juvie. As life as Sadie knew it disappears beyond the stark bars of her cell, her anger � at her ex-boyfriend, at Carla, and at herself � fills the empty space left behind. Can Sadie forgive Carla for getting her mixed up in this mess? Can Carla straighten herself out to make a better life for Lulu, and for all of them? Can Sadie survive her time in juvie with her spirit intact? (less)
