Reese Turner was nearly twelve-years-old before she realized that worthless slut was not her middle name. Her mother used this language as often as she spoke. She and her siblings had to endure the misery and tirades of their manic depressant mother who expressed her malcontent with being an abandoned - overworked - single parent through fear and physical abuse. Reese, Angel, and Joey had no choice but to find solace in each other. However, they quickly discovered that their lives were anything but normal. One anxiety-filled evening, Reese Turner did what she would never have imagined. Ignoring the fear and intimidation that had been instilled in her, she struck back and changed the course of their lives forever.
