China Cup Cameron might miss school or fall asleep in class sometimes, but she's trying hard to be a good mother to Amina, her two year old daughter. When tragedy befalls the small family, China must quit school and work full-time to make ends meet, but the only place willing to employ a 14 year old school dropout is Obsidian Queens, a strip club. Through China's harrowing, emotionally resonant story, Lori Aurelia Williams creates a window into the all-too-real world of a teen mother faced with the unthinkable.
