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 makes an unlikely ally in an ex-gang member in Memphis. He takes her in and trains her in “self-defense” before more tragedy launches her on a perilous journey for justice. Nothing will stop her—not cops or creeps, not even her own splintering mind. Through it all, Emily 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 will leave you cheering, cringing, crying and even laughing. A twisty action-packed coming-of-age story and testament to the boundlessness of human love, loyalty and the will to survive.
