The realities of teen prostitution are revealed in this eye-opening, heartbreaking story from the author of America," which Booklist "called a piercing, unforgettable novel and Kirkus Reviews "deemed a work of sublime humanity.
As a teen girl in Newark, New Jersey, lost in the foster care system, Dime just wants someone to care about her, to love her. A family. And that is exactly what she gets a daddy and two wifeys. So what if she has to go out and earn some coins to keep her place? It seems a fair enough exchange for love.
Dime never meant to become a prostitute. It happened so gradually, she pretty much didn t realize it was happening until it was too late.
But when a new wifey joins the family and Dime finds out that Daddy doesn t love her the way she thought he did, will Dime have the strength to leave? And will Daddy let her?"
