Mimi is a single mum in her twenties, looking to break free from her family’s judgements and her church’s oppressive, hypocritical gossip to establish who she is on her own. But a dangerous new romance could lead her into trouble…
Meanwhile, fifteen-year-old Abi dreams of emulating the life she sees through social media and helping her mother with the bills. When she’s offered the chance to make money fast by helping a group of local boys, she and her friends jump at it. But soon they’re crossing county lines, and Abi finds she’s in over her head…
Could Mimi and Abi forge a bond that could free them both, at the heart of a community they’ve taken for granted?
A powerful commentary on the city we don’t always see, this is the stunning new novel from Jendella Benson, the author of the acclaimed Hope & Glory.

Through Abi and Mimi, Jendella takes us through a soul drenching literary baptism.
There are very few people who can write in the way Jendella does. She uses her sharp and compassionate insight to craft an entry point into a world that is unfortunately overlooked by many.
An unstoppable force as a writer.
