Award-winning author, book columnist and founder of The FOLD, Jael Richardson presents her national bestselling novel Gutter Child. Richardson expertly brings to life a modern heroine who must find the strength to forge her own future amongst heartbreaking disadvantages and shocking injustices, defying a system that tries to shape her destiny.
