I'm Trisha Leigh Lee. I'm a 34-year-old church secretary and leader of my Baptist church's singles group. At long last, I'm navigating the rocky-but-totally-worth-it path of a first-time relationship with my childhood love, Aaron. Of course, my parents are thrilled, partly because they think he'll keep me out of trouble (spoiler: he doesn't have a chance).

Naturally, on a Tuesday night I'm helping a feisty old lady out of a grocery store dumpster. Except the old lady, Marta, needs more than a friendly face and a drive home. When her rescue ends in a plea to reunite with her granddaughter, Avecita, I know I've gotta help her.

I just don't expect to find Avecita in a gang—and that she's considered a valuable commodity in the gang's local prostitution ring. Oh, and she's pregnant, and the gang is already claiming the unborn child (over my dead body).

But helping Avecita comes at a high price. I'm not just laying my life on the line. This time I'm asking Aaron to get involved, too, and I'm not sure our newly minted relationship can handle the strain.

Now I have to survive retirement communities, Paisley-wearing gang members, carb-counting church volunteers, and—God forbid—maybe even a broken heart.
