Cashay is with her little sister Sashay when Sashay is shot and killed. Overcome with grief and responsible for herself now that her mother is using drugs again, Cashay feels hopeless--until she meets Allison, a compassionate mentor. Told from a first-person perspective, the story is authentic and, ultimately, heartwarming, creating a portrait of a girl stronger than her circumstances.
