Beskrivelse
Nightcrawling follows Kiara Johnson, a resilient seventeen-year-old navigating a harsh reality where survival means walking the streets at night. With family struggles and an uncertain future, Kiara faces challenges that no teenager should have to endure.
A gripping story of survival, courage, and exposing corruption in a world that often turns its back on the vulnerable.
Kiara Johnson’s life is anything but typical. With her mother in rehab and an older brother focused on his recording studio, she’s left to care for herself and nine-year-old Trevor, whose mother frequently disappears for days. As their landlord threatens to hike the rent, Kiara finds herself roaming the streets after dark, fighting to survive in a world that offers little protection.
One night, everything changes when two police officers stop Kiara and present her with a harrowing choice. Offered a deal that could secure her freedom, she must decide whether to testify in a grand jury trial that could reveal the deep-seated corruption within the police force. But speaking out comes with risks that could put her family in danger and threaten everyone she holds dear.
Nightcrawling is a powerful and unforgettable novel that shines a light on the struggles of young people caught in the darkest corners of adulthood. Told with striking humanity, it’s both heart-wrenching and utterly captivating.
