Camille Logan feels trapped. After being sexually and emotionally abused by her foster parents, she turns to the one person she can trust--her boyfriend Chu, a mid-level drug dealer. Life finally starts looking up for Camille until Chu is brutally murdered. Feeling helpless and refusing to return to the system, Camille finds herself living with a stable of women in a tiny run-down apartment building, working for Nut, a deranged pimp.
Fed up with her life, Camille is forced to right her wrongs, and slowly learns that her past does not solely determine her future.
Kia DuPree, a former assistant editor at St. Martins Press, received the Fiction Honor Book Award from the Black Caucus of the American Library Association for her debut, self-published novel, Robbing Peter, in 2005
