When Jennifer Jones was ten years old, she was convicted of murdering her best friend and was sentenced to seven years in prison for this terrible crime. Upon her release at the age of seventeen, she forges a new identity and slowly begins to rebuild her shattered life which now includes a job, a boyfriend, and acceptance to a local university. As Alice struggles to rejoin the society which she has left behind, and ponders a reconciliation with her neglectful mother, the press is always one step behind her, trying to find the whereabouts of the child-killer Jennifer Jones. How long can Alice keep her secret and avoid exposure? In Looking For JJ by Anne Cassidy, readers must ask themselves: Can a person really change? Is it possible to "start over" with memories of past trauma always forcing themselves to the forefront?
