Dime

Dime

The realities of teen prostitution are revealed in this eye-opening, heartbreaking story from the author of America, which Booklist called â€œa piercing, unforgettable novelâ€ and Kirkus Reviews deemed â€œa work of sublime humanity.â€

As a teen girl in Newark, New Jersey, lost in the foster care system, Dime just wants someone to care about her, to love her. A family. And that is exactly what she getsâ€”a daddy and two â€œwifeys.â€ So what if she has to go out and earn some coins to keep her place? It seems a fair enough exchange for love.

Dime never meant to become a prostitute. It happened so gradually, she pretty much didnâ€™t realize it was happening until it was too late.

But when a new â€œwifeyâ€ joins the family and Dime finds out that Daddy doesnâ€™t love her the way she thought he did, will Dime have the strength to leave? And will Daddy let her?
