But it&rsquo;s the only thing she believes she&rsquo;s really good at.</span><br /><br /><span>So when her foster mum&rsquo;s son destroys her latest creation, Roo loses it and pokes him in the hand with her knitting needle. It damages a nerve and she gets sucked into the criminal justice system for assault.</span><br /><br /><span>Roo&rsquo;s not sorry and she&rsquo;s never apologised to anyone in her life. But people keep telling her that if she says sorry, they&rsquo;ll go easier on her. Can she bring herself to say it and not mean it when her freedom&rsquo;s at stake?</span></p>",
