Bonnie has vanished. The police consider her a chronic runaway and aren't looking for her, leaving her desperate adoptive parents to reach out to her birth mother as a last hope.A biracial product of the foster system, transient, homeless, scarred by a past filled with pain and violence, and cursed with unnervingly dark eyes that absorb the light around them?and can pierce deep into a person's soul?Nora knows intimately what happens to vulnerable girls on the streets. Caring despite herself, she sets out to find Bonnie with her mutt, Whisper, as her only companion.
