Beschreibung
When there is no choice, all you have left to do is walk. Kiara Johnson does not know what it means to live as a normal seventeen-year-old. With her mother in a rehabilitation facility and her older brother devoting his time and money to a recording studio, she fends for herself and nine-year-old Trevor, whose mother often disappears for days. When their landlord threatens to raise the rent, Kiara walks the streets after dark, determined to survive in a world that refuses to protect her. Then two police officers pick her up one night, and the gruesome deal they offer in exchange for her freedom places her at the centre of a media storm. If she agrees to testify before a grand jury, she could help expose the sickening corruption of a police department. But honesty comes at a price that could leave her family vulnerable to retaliation and endanger everyone she loves. This unforgettable novel explores young people navigating the darkest corners of an adult world, with a humanity that is agonising and utterly mesmerising.
