What would you say to a father you've never met, especially if he claims to be innocent of a terrible crime for which he has been imprisoned? This is the dilemma Zoe Washington faces on her twelfth birthday when she receives a letter from her father, Marcus. Determined to uncover the truth and believing in his innocence, Zoe embarks on an extraordinary investigation, even if it means hiding her efforts from her family. While others focus on Zoe's bakery internship and her aspiration to audition for Food Network's Kids Bake Challenge, her mind is torn between her love for baking and the weight of Marcus's conviction.
Throughout this gripping tale, Zoe is confronted with the harsh reality of systemic inequalities in the criminal justice system. As Marcus professes his innocence and Zoe's grandmother supports his claims, she becomes determined to find the elusive alibi witness who can prove his innocence. With thought-provoking themes and a page-turning narrative, From the Desk of Zoe Washington is not only an entertaining read but also a powerful exploration of truth, justice, and the resilience of the human spirit.
