Reviews
"An undocumented teenager is charged with manslaughter and works to remake her life in Mona Alvarado Frazier's searing novel . . . Candid when it comes to relationships, immigration issues, and the harms that young women endure and inflict upon others, The Garden of Second Chances is an affecting novel in which an at-risk youth finds the courage to move past her mistakes." -- Foreword Reviews "Frazier masterfully limns Juana's waning hope as she comes to terms with the fact the government that's locked her away will likely kick her out of the country after she's released...a persistently tense story... both narratively and emotionally satisfying." -- Kirkus Reviews "Mona Alvarado Frazier is masterful with tension and is able to thread it through every single page. Depictions of life in prison are painfully raw and have an authenticity to them..." -- Reader's Favorite , 5-star review, "An undocumented teenager is charged with manslaughter and works to remake her life in Mona Alvarado Frazier's searing novel . . .

Synopsis
She didn't run because she killed him, she ran because she didn't. But no one believes Juana, an undocumented seventeen-year-old incarcerated for her husband's death. Amid the chaos of prison and her grief, she creates a garden in the yard. A safe space. A place where she gains strength to take on the system before she loses her child., For fans of Angie Thomas, Tiffany D. Jackson, and Jenny Torres Sanchez Juana's life has taken a dark turn. Accused of her husband's death, she's now a seventeen-year-old mother, alone and undocumented in a prison cell. No one believes her when she claims she's innocent, not even the prison staff or the gang leader in her block who torments her relentlessly. Her only solace is in her baby, but as Juana struggles to survive the dangers lurking in prison, the threat outside grows even more terrifying. Her husband's furious family wants to take the child away. With no hope in sight, Juana discovers a glimmer of light in a small patch of earth in the prison yard. As she nurtures the plants, memories of her mother's strength and resilience surface, pushing Juana to fight for her freedom and her daughter's future. This is a story of courage, hope, and determination in the face of impossible odds.
