What happens if you're a girl who doesn't say sorry?

Charlene Yewless loves knitting. The only thing she loves more than knitting is her little sister, Kandi, whom she hasn't seen since their mum died.

When the special blanket she's knitting for Kandi is destroyed by her foster mum's son, Charlene loses it. She stabs him in the hand with her knitting needle and finds herself sitting in a police cell.

Can she find a way to say sorry when her freedom and her future are at stake?
