You would think that life as an only child would be easy, right? No little sisters to have to watch over while mum is out, and no teasing and bullying from older brothers is the good life, right? Getting pampered by your parents because they have no one else to pamper would be great, right? Well, that was exactly the life eight-year-old Talia Frost had and she was loving it! But what if the life she had was not like she thought? What if it turns out that her parents were in over their heads with debt that they know they will never pay off in time? What if something happened and Talia had to run away and never come back? And what if Talia had to learn to fend for herself and live in the streets... Of New York City?
You have never known true fear until you are left on the streets, defenseless.
