Twelve-year-old Emily Calby was a good girl from a good family in rural Georgia. She loved softball, her little sister, and looking up words to get her allowance. Then two men came and murdered her family. Only the killers know she escaped. On the run, surviving by wits and instinct, she meets an unlikely mentor and protector in ex-gang member Lucas Jackson, who takes her in off the streets of Memphis and teaches her how to survive—and kill.
When more tragedy strikes, Emily is thrust into a perilous journey for justice. Nothing will stop her—not cops or creeps, not even her own splintering mind. Through it all, she fights to hold onto the girl she once knew, kept buried deep inside.
Dark and gritty, but filled with heart and hope, The Hiding Girl is a twisty, action-packed coming-of-age story about love, loyalty, and the will to survive. $2.99 on Kindle.
