It's the summer. School's out. Parents are working. The kids are home alone. What are they doing?
 
Meet Trekela, aka "Trek," an 11-year old little girl playing big girl games. As her emotionally distant mother nurses a broken heart, Trek is left unprotected from the influences of her new environment run amok by other unsupervised teens and pre-teens.
 
Trek's fascination with the boundary-less liberty of her friends in South Park Village (Houston, Texas) takes her places she thought she would never go, and from whence she almost didn't escape.
 
Then she meets Ms. Denise, a 20-something year old seminary student who sees pieces of herself in Trek and throws her a lifeline we should all be so fortunate to receive - a transparent relationship rooted in unconditional love, no matter how often we fail.In Alexus Rhone's debut novel, she recounts a racy but honest coming-of-age story about the power of influence and the ability of one positive, committed person to make a lasting difference.
