Less than a day later, Stella and her parents are cast out onto the street. Their reputation is in ruins, and they must brave the city’s most inhospitable corners just to survive.
As tragedy follows tragedy, Stella finds herself drawn into a world she doesn’t understand. A world with no hope of a brighter tomorrow.
