"This fabulously feisty heroine will win your heart." -- "Kirkus Review"

All the evidence points to Dovey in this courtroom dramaTwelve-year-old Dovey Coe never did like Parnell Caraway. She didn't like the way he wooed her older sister. She didn't like the way he maligned her beloved deaf brother. But while she didn't like him, she certainly didn't murder him. All the evidence, however, points to Dovey. Used to protecting everyone else Dovey now has to rely on the 'city' lawyer. She's not one to sit back when trouble's brewing, but just this once she might have to ... or will she?
