"Your daddy killed Chris!"
When Nikki heard her little cousin utter these four words, she had no idea they would change the course of her young life forever. Had no idea that her beloved father would be ripped away from her, drawn into a protracted legal battle.

Through her journey, Nikki must learn to become independent, think for herself, and come to terms with the moral implications of what her father has done. But Nikki knows the truth about why her father did it. She knows that the murder is not quite as cut and dry as it may seem…
