About This Book

A young girl fights to overcome her past after escaping rape, bullying, and prostitution.

Shante Clemmons (Butterfly) is a mature-looking, fifteen-year-old foster home reject, who, after being caught in the bed with her foster care father, is tossed into the street in the middle of the night. She falls asleep behind a well-lit building only to be awakened by a huge intimidating man who offers her a job.

Butterfly becomes the most popular dancer in the club until the owner discovers that she is underage. He fires her and demands she make due on an old debt or suffer the consequences. It ends in a physical altercation, and Butterfly flees for her life.

As fate would have it, she ends up in the care of her estranged father's ex-prison cellmate, Dr. Johnny Forrester, who takes Butterfly in to fulfill a promise he made to her father. With much dismay, Butterfly moves into the Forresters' home. Despite her many obstacles, she is determined to survive her senior year of high school and then go to college...but will she?
