Fatal Choices - E-book - ePub

Fourteen-year-old Ashley desperately wants to have a relationship with her biological father, Peter, despite his abandoning her before she was born. She doesn't care about missed birthdays, holidays, or everything else he failed to be present for. The only thing that matters to her is the here and now, but her mother, Jean, isn't willing to look the other way. She won't allow Peter to break their daughter's heart as he did her many years ago.  Ashley's resentment of her mom causes her to lash out and, unfortunately, lands her in a world of drugs and turmoil.
Her behavior spirals out of control, and her entire persona transforms. Jean is already dealing with her older daughter's potentially dangerous situation and is at her wit's end.  While visiting Ashley's father one weekend, Ashley's brother, Dick, decides to rip off a well-known drug dealer in the community, placing her life in danger. The dealer retaliates against Dick with a drive-by shooting. The police put Dick's entire family in protective custody, but someone on the force leaks the location of their whereabouts.
Will they escape the danger?
