Description
This fast-paced, moving novel is set in two contrasting worlds: the rich, horse-breeding milieu of Riley Chadwick and his family; and the hand-to-mouth life on the street of Lu and her mates. What happens when those worlds collide? Riley's daughter, Charlotte, seems to have everything, looks, money, confidence; Lu has nothing except her friends and feelings of inferiority and rage as soon as she sets eyes on Charlotte Chadwick. Feelings that will run out of control...A gritty portrait of show more envy and relationships gone awry. show lessTags

Not a book to be enjoyed. A grim topic but nonetheless well- written.
