Measured Agony - Hardcover

by Judy Smith (Author)

To shield his family from a past trauma, Jack West confesses to killing his sister's attacker, Bradley Torres, but withholds evidence to control the narrative.

When police skepticism inadvertently makes his sister a suspect, Jack provides the location of the body, leading to his conviction and a ten-year prison sentence.

Inside prison, Jack must navigate a complex and violent social hierarchy, forcing him to adapt and fight to survive while holding onto his core identity for the family waiting for him.

After his release, Jack returns to a family that has reshaped itself in his absence, forcing him to confront the long-term consequences of his actions and rebuild his relationship with his wife and the young son he barely knows.
