From author Kia Abdullah, Take It Back is a harrowing and twisting courtroom thriller that keeps you guessing until the last page is turned.
One victim.
Four accused.
Who is telling the truth?
Zara
Kaleel, one of London's brightest legal minds, shattered the
expectations placed on her by her family and forged a brilliant legal
career. But her decisions came at a high cost, and now, battling her own
demons, she has exchanged her high profile career for a job at a sexual
assault center, helping victims who need her the most. Victims like
Jodie Wolfe.
When Jodie, a sixteen-year-old girl with facial
deformities, accuses four boys in her class of an unthinkable crime, the
community is torn apart. After all, these four teenage defendants are
from hard-working immigrant families and they all have proven alibis.
Even Jodie's best friend doesn't believe her.
But Zara does―and
she is determined to fight for Jodie―to find the truth in the face of
public outcry. And as issues of sex, race and social justice collide,
the most explosive criminal trial of the year builds to a shocking conclusion.
