Official synopsis Publisher
From the bestselling author of Secret Society comes a heart-wrenching tale of a fifteen-year-old who turns to the streets for survival after her mother becomes addicted to heroin.
After her big brother Curtis is gunned down in the streets of Brooklyn, Angel’s family crumbles. Grief stricken, her mother turns to heroin to ease her pain. She doesn’t notice that her son has no food or that her daughters’ clothes are torn and dirty. Worst of all, she doesn’t see what her boyfriend does to Angel behind closed doors.
Desperate to support her younger brother and sister, Angel hits the streets looking for anything or anyone to help. But she’s fifteen years old, so options for legal work are few. As a last resort, she turns to her brother’s best friend, Antoine, who arranges a job for her at a strip club. It’s only supposed to be for a while, until she can get her working papers.
Angel is convinced she won’t fall victim to the streets like her mother. But the fast life has its temptations and a magical ability to make you forget…
