GORDON'S KNOT (UPDATED!)

What if you could go back in time and fix one regret?

When fourteen-year-old Mary Gordon is given a supposed magical relic that can do just that, Mary writes it off as another tall tale from her grandmotherly neighbor with a penchant for storytelling, 

Until she discovers that it’s not a tall tale at all, just in time to undo an unbearable humiliation at the hands of a school bully.

But what she thinks is an easily solved problem turns out to be anything but, as she discovers not everyone is what they appear to be and that not every hard problem needs a complicated solution.

UNJUSTICE

"Revenge is a kind of wild justice; which the more man's nature runs to,
the more ought law to weed it out."
