Great for age 12-18 years

Hope has everything that money can buy . . . except happiness. She may be spoilt but Hope's sure that as far as her preoccupied parents are concerned, she's hopeless.

Oksana doesn't even have a mum. And her dad and brother are miles away, left behind in Russia. She thought Europe would offer a better life - instead, bought and sold into prostitution, she feels dirty and used.

Then Oksana and Hope are thrown together in the most terrifying circumstances imaginable. Their only real chance of escape lies with each other, but how do two teenagers with so little in common find the way . . . ?

A tense, shocking novel - with a hint of hope.
