The Girl Who Stopped Asking
Anna Lopez learned a long time ago that asking for help only works when someone is willing to listen.
After surviving a kidnapping at sixteen and spending years carrying secrets no one believed, she's become an expert at handling everything herself. She's stubborn, sarcastic, fiercely protective, and determined to never be anyone's damsel in distress.
Now she's joining the LAPD as a rookie officer alongside the people who have known her longest-her childhood best friend Lucy Chen and her older sister Angela Lopez.
The problem?
The rest of Mid-Wilshire has no idea who Anna really is.
As old wounds resurface and new cases force her to confront the past she's spent years avoiding, Anna finds herself surrounded by people who refuse to let her face everything alone.
Unfortunately for her, they care.
And that's almost worse.
A story about survival, found family, healing, sarcastic coping mechanisms, climbing fences at inappropriate times, and learning that being loved is sometimes the hardest thing of all.
