Tenley Granger's mother is a defense attorney. All her life she's been taught to forgive rather than judge, but it's not always easy. In her opinion, if you make a stupid decision, you should live with it; if you get yourself into a predicament, you should get yourself out; and most importantly, there is never an excuse for deliberately hurting someone.
What happens when the roles are reversed? When Tenley starts eleventh grade, she makes a mistake that rocks her entire school. Now Tenley needs someone who won't judge her, but for once her mother refuses to see the other side. Judging Juliet is a story that asks when and how it is okay to judge someone else, if a hurtful action can ever be justified, and if there are some acts that cannot be forgiven.
