She was kidnapped not once but twice and now someone wants her dead because of it... Her life was a lie!

Bailey knew her upbringing wasn't normal but she's worked hard to stabilize her life. At 29, she finally has a good business, a stable home; her life is miles from that of her childhood. Then suddenly her mother dies, leaving a gaping hole and a discovery that they may not even be related. If Guy, the private investigator is to be believed, her life is a lie.

Using the skills she learned on the streets, Bailey travels back through a sketchy and dangerous past, to find answers.
