A Damaged Girl tells the stories of a woman struggling to overcome a horrible past and take control of her future. With the help of her brother, they settle all past scores—but will her quest for revenge jeopardize her future?
Essence® bestselling author Travis Hunter tells the story of a young woman who takes control of her own destiny after lifelong abuse.
Zola Zaire never had a chance to choose her man. Raped at fourteen, her mother threw her out at sixteen, and she was forced to live with a man three times her age. Abuse was all she’d known, and she has gotten comfortable as a bottom dweller—until her son is taken from her. That’s when she decides to become the predator instead of the prey.
