Produktbeschreibung
They took her family. Tried to break her spirit. But Shanice Allen wasn't born to survive - she was born to rise. South Central Los Angeles, 1980s - a war zone disguised as a neighborhood. Crack cocaine floods the streets. Families fall apart. And the system that claims to protect children is the same one that shatters them. Shanice Allen is only nine when Child Protective Services tears her from her home. Her mother, Monique, is drowning in addiction. Her father, Andre, a former Marine turned LAPD officer, has lost himself to violence and the pipe. Separated from her younger siblings, Jaclyn and Brice, Shanice is thrown into the foster care system - a cold machine that crushes the weak and forgets the strong. But Shanice refuses to be forgotten. In the face of trauma, betrayal, and endless obstacles, she makes a promise: I will not become them. I will not be broken. I will bring my family back. From the cracked sidewalks of South Central to the gates of UCLA, Trust No Love is a raw, heart-wrenching journey through a world stacked against her - where hope is a weapon, resilience is a rebellion, and love is the one thing more dangerous than hate. Perfect for readers of Tiffany D. Jackson, Angie Thomas, and Sister Souljah, this powerful coming-of-age novel is a tribute to the warriors raised by struggle - and the unbreakable fire of a girl who refused to lose.
