My debut novel 'I Had to Do It' is a legal thriller about 33-year-old Penelope Moretti who's a public defender who finds herself defending 17-year-old Daria Aldridge who's being charged with matricide. However, she claims she killed her mother in self defense. This story explores complex family dynamics, mother-daughter relationships, legal drama, etc.
