Alicia-Marie (Alice) Cooper had a decent life growing up in Queens, until her parents passed away and she was left in the care of her abusive brother Miller. Sick of his abuses, Alice ran away to Brooklyn, where she met Spot Conlon and eventually became the first girl to be accepted in the ranks of the toughest newsies in New York. When word of the Manhattan strike reached Brooklyn, Alice knew they had to help. It took some convincing, but Spot and the boys eventually agreed. However, upon meeting a certain Manhattan newsie named Race, Alice had no idea just how much he would change her life. Now, she has a choice to make. Brooklyn or Manhattan?

What do I have to live for anyway? I take a deep breath. "Do it." I murmur. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When devastation is wrought through Ever's life, she learns dark secrets and has to trust a couple of strangers.
