“Chillingly credible and unflinchingly revealed.”—Kirkus Reviews

When the American Dream becomes a nightmare . . .

Ever since her parents were killed and her beloved uncle vanished, Hannah has struggled to support herself and her grandmother. So when she’s offered the chance to leave Moldova and become a nanny for a family in Los Angeles, it seems like the opportunity of a lifetime.

At first, Hannah likes her new employers. But after weeks of working sixteen-hour days and not being allowed to leave the house, she still hasn’t been paid. As things go from bad to worse, Hannah finds herself doing things she never imagined herself capable of—lying, eavesdropping, even sneaking out late at night to meet Colin, the boy who lives next door. And when she gets caught, the mother threatens her with a fate even worse than being a slave: prostitution.

When Hannah discovers that the father knew her family back in Moldova, she’s determined to find out if he knows anything about her missing uncle. But as she uncovers the truth, she may be exposing more than she bargained on—and putting her life in danger.
