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

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 gets--a daddy and two wifeys. 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 didn't realize it was happening until it was too late.

But when a new wifey joins the family and Dime finds out that Daddy doesn't love her the way she thought he did, will Dime have the strength to leave? And will Daddy let her?
