Powerless - by Vicky Ball (Paperback)

About the Book

Beth is a teenager who has it all until an older man takes an interest in her. Then she disappears.

Book Synopsis

Growing up, Beth had the perfect life: a grammar school education, doting parents, and a little sister, Abby, who adored her. But when an older man took an interest in her, that innocent world was violently ripped away.

Seven years later, on Christmas Eve, Beth returns.

But she is a stranger now-skinny, pink-haired, and deeply broken. As threatening text messages flood Beth's phone and nightmares plague her sleep, Abby refuses to be treated like a helpless child anymore. To save her sister, Abby plunges into a dark world far removed from their comfortable upbringing, uncovering snippets of Beth's shattered past and the dangerous men who will stop at nothing to keep their secrets.

With her parents' marriage collapsing under the weight of the truth, Abby must face a terrifying reality: some things can never go back to normal.
