Publisher's Synopsis
Tonesha Barnes has taken a phenomenal journey from her street life past and into the hopes of her new life and into a better future. What nags at Tonesha is a desire to know what has happened to her mother that still lives on the streets of Jamaica, New York. Determined to try to locate her mother before a brutal storm hits the eastern seaboard, Tonesha strikes out with acquaintance Jason Thompson to see if she can find her mother. The young heroine has not been in New York for over ten years and her last memories of the city were those of a traumatized fourteen year old child. An emotional journey for anyone to return to the place you ran away from. Tonesha is a rollercoaster of a character.
