Guilty Until Proven Innocent

When a teenage boy is accused of something he didn't do, his world collapses overnight. Khalid was a student with plans, friends, and a future, until a single accusation turned everything upside down. Cast out by classmates, cornered by adults, and betrayed by those closest to him, he's left to navigate a broken system that doesn't care whether he's innocent or not. With no lawyer, no money, and no one to believe him, he finds himself fighting battles on every front: at school, at home, and in his own mind. Told in raw, unfiltered prose, Guilty Until Proven Innocent is a powerful coming-of-age story about survival in the face of institutional failure. It's about what happens when truth isn't enough, and what it takes to keep going anyway. For readers who've ever felt voiceless, this story won't just speak to you. It'll scream.
