For the record

by Monique Polak

Twelve-year-old Justine, and her little sister, Bea, go back and forth between their recently divorced parents' homes in Montreal. Their mother--whose anxiety manifests in controlling behavior--enlists Justine in collecting evidence that would lead to getting sole custody. At first, Justine agrees to write down what she sees: He doesn't stick to Bea's strict bedtime. He's late dropping them off at school. He makes sandwiches with white bread. But when Justine crafts an outright lie for her mother's court case, she starts to question her mother's behavior, and her own.
