When The Floor Drops - Paperback

by Melissa Hemmings (Author)

Michelle Lewis has spent her life watching the sky through bars, promising herself she won't be swallowed by the violence that took her parents. When a scholarship opportunity appears, it feels like a door finally opening until a child goes missing, and the streets decide Michelle owes them obedience.

A local enforcer wants Michelle to carry a package that could destroy her future. A polished "helper" offers protection with a hidden agenda. The police want an easy story, not the truth. With her back against the wall, Michelle must choose between surrendering to the life she was born into or fighting for the one she's trying to build.

When the Floor Drops is a gritty urban drama about resilience, moral courage, and earning an ending stronger than your beginning.
