About the Book

17-year-old Mireya's world is rocked after her mom's abduction at an ATM one day before school. She must unravel her mother's disturbing past-a world far-removed from their ordinary lives-if she hopes to find her before it's too late.

Book Synopsis

You can bury the truth, but it usually finds its way back to the surface. Or so Mireya is learning.

She thought she knew everything about her mom. She knew almost nothing at all.

When her mom is violently abducted at a neighborhood ATM, 17-year-old Mireya finds herself thrust into her mother's shocking past, a disturbing world that she would have never imagined possible for the woman who raised her. And as details of mysterious bank accounts and possible ties to a Texas gang emerge, Mireya soon realizes that whoever took her mother could also be hunting her. Can she protect her mom-and herself-before it's too late?
