Seller Description
Fern seeks refuge from her mother's pill popping and boyfriends via Soul Train; Gwin finds salvation in the music of Prince, much to her congregation's dismay; and Jesenia, miles ahead of her classmates at her gifted and talented high school, is a brainy and precocious enigma. None of this matters to Boss Man, who abducts them and holds them captive in a dilapidated house in Queens. Only two of the "victim-girls" are found when they are rescued. On that night, throngs line the block, gawking and claiming ignorance. Among them is lifelong resident Miss Metropolitan, advice columnist for the local weekly; but how could anyone who fancies herself a "news-paperwoman" have missed a horror story unfolding in her own neighborhood? The mystery surrounding the fate of the third girl and the fragmented existence of the survivors stand at the pulsing center of this literary page-turner. Carolyn Ferrell's extraordinary and original novel explores the intersections of grief and rage, personal strength and healing-and what we owe one another.
