#19

I am Miranda “Randi” Tetlow, a Teenage Recovery Specialist for Angel Guardians, a Catholic charity in Los Angeles. #19 chronicles a few months of my life: the bad, the ugly, and the erotic. There is no good. What I do is not for the fainthearted or easily offended. It will challenge your beliefs. If you or someone you love has been affected by sex trafficking, this is probably not be the book for you. Marissa Sue Edgington ran away from her Slocomb, Alabama home to become a starlet in Los Angeles at the ripe age of sixteen. That didn’t quite work out for her. She ended up as one of “Huevos” Gonzalez stable of coños. She loves Huevos and Huevos loves money. Marissa has been on my radar to rescue for a while. She’s hit rock bottom; addicted to Ice, passed around to members of Huevos gang, and working the streets to bring Huevos money. My submissive, Detective Jesse Grovè, and I are about to take Marissa off the street and send her home, but fate intervenes in the form of Marissa’s mother and a freelance rescuer named Eva Harmon. Suffice it to say, Eva and I have a history. When Eva’s plan to rescue Marissa is derailed by two homeboys with guns, it’s clear Marissa’s never going to be happy at home with her mama. When Jesse and I get a second chance to rescue Marissa, we don’t waste it even though we’ve got to get very creative to pull it off. In the process, the freelancer becomes a real threat, and I’m left with a dilemma. What to do with Marissa? There is only one answer. Make her #19.
