Description
In the heart of Oakland, 17-year-old Kiara Johnson navigates a precarious existence, desperately trying to provide for her younger brother and a neighbor's child. When a chance encounter leads her into the dangerous world of "nightcrawling," she finds herself entangled in a complex web of survival, exploitation, and the systemic failures that trap marginalized communities. Inspired by a real-life scandal, this novel unflinchingly explores the resilience of young Black women facing impossible choices and the devastating consequences of societal neglect. Through Mottley's powerful and poetic prose, *Nightcrawling* offers a raw, intimate portrait of a young woman fighting for her future against overwhelming odds.
