Wilder Than Wild Winds The Road

To survive on the streets of LA, Gracie, an orphan, indulges in a fantasy world where she is warrior and savior searching for a mother with breast cancer who has run away to die alone. After a brutal snowstorm, Gracie will never return to her impoverished farm in the mountains or to a father who bakes exquisite rolls as if God has breathed into the sourdough starter. All she has to guide her is a locket, a vial in the shape of a wolf fang, filled with a blue as unpredictable as the sea and sky. Whatever abuse Gracie has endured, the vial competes with memories to protect her from what harm they have done to her. But with too much faith in her fantasies, Gracie becomes vulnerable. She is abducted by a sex slaver. She must fight. She will resist the power of the drug, the Blue Goblin, given by her captors. She will see her clients as doors to be knocked down. She will not give in. No matter how long it takes to escape. Seconds are like numbers to her. They cannot be changed. Like her soul.
