Critically acclaimed memoirist Aaron Hartzler, author of
Rapture Practice, takes an unflinching look at what happens
to a small town when some of its residents commit a terrible
crime. This honest, authentic debut novel—inspired by the
events in the Steubenville rape case—will resonate with
readers who've ever walked that razor-thin line between
guilt and innocence that so often gets blurred, one hundred
and forty characters at a time.
The party at John Doone's last Saturday night is a bit of a
blur. Kate Weston can piece together most of the details:
Stacey Stallard handing her shots, Ben Cody taking her keys
and getting her home early. . . . But when a picture of
Stacey passed out over Deacon Mills's shoulder appears
online the next morning, Kate suspects she doesn't have all
the details. When Stacey levels charges against four of
Kate's classmates, the whole town erupts into controversy.
Facts that can't be ignored begin to surface, and every
answer Kate finds leads back to the same questions: Who
witnessed what happened to Stacey? And what responsibility
do they have to speak up about what they saw?
National Book Award finalist Deb Caletti calls What We Saw
"a smart, sensitive, and gripping story about the courage it
takes to do what's right."
