500    "Originally published in French as La petite menteuse in 
       2022 by L'Iconoclaste, Paris"--Title page verso. 
520    "This sharp, compelling legal drama from an acclaimed 
       French journalist explores why a teenage victim lied about
       her rape and how the disadvantaged become scapegoats. At 
       15, Lisa was a typical teenager, at times rebellious and 
       impulsive, adjusting to newfound attention from boys and 
       men. But when her demeanor takes a sudden turn, her 
       teachers suspect something worse than adolescent 
       moodiness. Lisa eventually confesses that she's been 
       abused, multiple times, and suspicion quickly falls on 
       Marco, a worker who had done projects at her parents' 
       house. With his troubled history of drinking, unemployment,
       and casual sex, he's sentenced without hesitation to 10 
       years in prison. While others consider the matter settled 
       and want to move on, guilt eats away at Lisa. No longer a 
       minor, she drops her family's hotshot Parisian lawyer 
       ahead of the appeal hearing and makes a surprise visit to 
       the office of a local attorney, Alice. Unassuming yet 
       dogged in seeking justice, Alice agrees to represent her, 
       and bring to light the painful truths obscured by Lisa's 
       past lies. Drawing on years of experience covering trials,
       Pascale Robert-Diard combines keen insight and a vivid, 
       powerful writing style in this story at the intersection 
       of the #MeToo movement and class inequality"--|cProvided
