Book Description:

AS FOUR-YEAR-OLD, ANNIE, travels from Alexandria, Virginia, to Portland, Oregon, away from almost everything dear to her, she clings to the one person she still has left–her mother. Her mother’s cross-country move to escape racism and domestic violence turns out to be a perilous new beginning for Annie, an innocent child who secretly encounters someone worse than the Boogeyman.

Please be advised, THIS IS NOT A CHILDREN’S BOOK, and contains real, raw, and explicit content related to the sexual abuse and trauma of a child. Hence, this book is for mature readers only.

“I so enjoyed the Afrocentric characters, especially, Annie’s Mama and her no-nonsense approach. The author majestically weaves poetry throughout while telling a story; infusing the two styles and coining the term “Stoetry.” -Sherrena (Torrence) Saint Preux
