Daughter of the Lost: A Novel

When the freshman party ends, the sophomore hangover hits. Trinity Tachel has no use for society's rules. Not after the New Orleans police failed to investigate the murder of her sex-worker mother. Not after she was abandoned to the Louisiana foster care system as a child. And certainly not after fighting through freshman year to prove herself worthy of a spot at the prestigious Filton University. Trinity is overjoyed when she's invited to spend the summer in the Los Angeles mansion of retired porn star Missy Mariola. Escape the daily struggle to survive as a New Orleans college student? Yes please. Shock proper society by openly embracing an adult film star? Even better. But when Trinity returns to New Orleans for her sophomore year, she's an unrecognizable version of herself. Missy Mariola has taken over Trinity's life. Missy doesn't want Trinity to work, makes all the rules-and even chooses Trinity's housemates. Trinity finds herself living with people she despises, including a hot New Orleans cop who has a frustrating habit of showing up during her worst moments. Trinity has to decide if she wants to remain the abandoned child of her past or embrace a future with people who love her. Daughter of the Lost is a roller-coaster journey of self-exploration and finding family-even among your mortal enemies.
