"Twelve-year-old Emily Calby was a good girl from a religious family in rural Georgia. She loved softball, her little sister and looking up words to get her allowance. Then two men came and savagely murdered her family. Somehow Emily escaped. Only the killers know she survived. On the run, in a fugue, surviving by wits and animal instinct, she makes an unlikely ally on the dangerous streets of South Memphis, a ruthless former gang member who takes her in. Overwhelmed by guilt, she persuades him to train her to kill before setting out on a terrifying search for her family's killers. Nothing will stop her--not cops or creeps, not even her own splintering mind. Through it all, Emily fights to hold onto hope and the girl she once knew, kept buried deep inside. A testament to the boundless limits of love, sacrifice and the will to survive, THE HIDING GIRL is the first book in the Emily Calby Series." -- From the back cover
