Résumé

All it takes is one night and one bad decision for fifteen-year-old Violetta Chen-Samuels's life to change forever. After driving drunk and causing the accident that kills her little sister, Violetta is incarcerated. Under the juvenile justice system in this near-future world, her fate lies in the hands of those she's wronged : her family. With their forgiveness, she could go home, start again. It's Violetta's big brother, Vince, who delivers the crushing news.
Her family does not forgive her, leaving Violetta to make a hard choice : remain in a juvenile detention center for an uncertain time or face the Trials - grueling tests of strength and character designed to rehabilitate and prove her remorse. For the chance to regain her freedom and what she wants most of all - her family's love - Violetta agrees to participate in the Trials. But Vince is facing his own trial.
He feels like what happened is all his fault and he let his family down. He should have been home the night Violetta took the wheel. Besieged by the pressures of always being expected to do the right thing, Vince begins a dangerous spiral into addiction. As Violetta and Vince's parents realize they have not one, but two children in trouble, this family must decide what it means to forgive not only one another, but themselves.
A searing exploration of penance, punishment, and mercy, told from the alternating voices of a brother and sister, Forgive Me Not is a stunning portrait of a family torn apart by the weight of their loss and collective mistakes as they try to reconnect in the face of tragedy.
