Nita's confidence is at an all-time low when Earl Melvin, her reclusive neighbor and the town's most notorious criminal--picks that day to speak to her. Mr. Melvin offers Nita a story--some old books he refers to as his memoirs. Nita can't help but read the books, and what she finds is not violence but a tale of secret love and heartbreak in the Virginia back roads. Still dealing with her recent failure, Nita can't believe that no one's ever questioned such injustice in her own town. Sensing redemption, she dives into the research, getting to know the neighbor her mother warned her about.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"It's never too late for the truth, insists Nita, the plucky heroine at the center of Pete Fanning's novel Justice in a Bottle. An aspiring investigative journalist at the age of thirteen, Nita doggedly pursues the answers to her burning questions, despite resistance from her school principal, her classmates, her mother, and her talkative internal critic. This is an inspiring story about a young girl's passion and perseverance, beautifully told."</p><p>- Clifford Garstang, winner of the Library of Virginia Literary Award</p><br>
