Roach Girl two

Book two

In the beginning, he was so charming, so persuasive, so attentive. In the beginning, I was vulnerable, thirsty for love, hungry for comfort, easy prey. In the beginning, I missed all the signs.......



Designer gowns, designer shoes, designer jewelry. Mom's thirst for luxury consumed her every thought, and that addiction drove her away. Away from dad. Away from me. Away from our problems. And I will never forgive her. Why would she prefer money over me? I hated money, but I had grown to love taking it from the rich to give to the poor. That was my addiction. Stealing. Stealing from those who have so much, they don't even know what's missing. Stealing from the wealthy eased my pain and giving it to the needy soothed my soul. I was Roach Girl, and I had become a master thief, a modern-day Robin Hood.

This second book in the Roach Girl origin trilogy is told in multiple perspectives. Both Vivian, the main character, and her mom, Victoria, tell alternate accounts of their stories as the two search for answers as to why Victoria left home and has not returned.
