Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
From award-winning author Kia DuPree, hailed for her emotionally complex characters and breakneck pacing, comes a propulsive and compelling novel about a young girl navigating the dangerous underbelly of the foster care system.
Kiki's world is turned upside down when her partially deaf mother loses custody of her children, sending Kiki and her siblings into foster care. After running away with a friend, the two run straight into the arms of a pedophile in disguise, who lures the two girls into a life far too mature for their twelve-year-old minds. Held in captivity for months, the girls are finally set free when a neighbor exposes them. But what should have been a happy moment for Kiki actually sends her on a life path that quickly spirals out of control.
Includes reading group guide.
Sequel to: Damaged.
Having run away after being placed into foster care, KiKi and her friend Nausy are lured into a life of captivity by a pedophile, where they are exposed to drug use, rape, and physical abuse, until a neighbor helps them escape.
