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?

This is a very dark book as it deals with the life and realities of teen prostitution. It was a real eye opener about what these kids go through and it breaks my heart that things like this really happen. It tells a great story about how much you have to endure before you say enough. This book will give teen strength to stand up for themselves.
