"The 1989 rape of a jogger in Central Park was pinned on 14-year-old Raymond Santana and four other young teens-now called the Exonerated Five-a tragedy that would change their lives forever. In this illustrated memoir, Santana reflects on his wrongful conviction and tireless fight for his exoneration"-- Provided by publisher.
