Unforgiven by A.J. Holt

The first time Renee Lucas returns to the town of Prosper it is in a spirit of remembrance. For Prosper is where six years ago she buried her stillborn child and where Lauren, her mentally handicapped five-year-old who is now her only companion, was born. Where, at the hands of four drunken teenagers, Lauren soon, horrifyingly, is to die...

Twenty years later Renee Lucas returns to Prosper a second time, having served her sentence for the murder of her child - a crime the town of Prosper connived to see the distraught young mother convicted of. But Renee Lucas now is a very different woman from the Renee Lucas she was then. And this time it's justice she's seeking.
