Anything is possible when you have the right people there to support you, a famous quote from Misty Copeland, could not be more appropriate to describe the events that overwhelm Abbie and her friends as they begin their penultimate high school year. Abbie and Sky prepare for their exams, oblivious to the presence of gangs in their area, and the lives they are ruining; affecting people closer than they would ever imagine.

There are parts of our lives that do not always make us happy but are made normal because they are familiar. However, in these times, we can imagine a life where things could be different and we would have a feeling that we mattered to somebody, a place where we belonged, that was not there before. If there was a chance to feel cared for or even loved most of us would take it, wouldn’t we? But at what cost?

Devious people prey on the vulnerable and use their need to feel special to control them, encouraging them to become involved in events that would seem unthinkable ordinarily. This sequel, to ‘Abbie Carter, Collision of Minds,’ provides a vision of the immoral nature of gangs and an insight into their uncaring disregard for the defenceless people they have enticed into their world.
