Enchanted Jones is a lot of things. She is a swimmer for her private high school, she takes care of her younger siblings because her parents are over busy. She is a member of Will and Willow (an organization for black kids that centers around leadership, service, and civic duty). But mostly, she just wants to break into the world of singing. And then she connects with Korey Fields, a pop star who takes a special interest in her. But the interest becomes romantic and controlling - can you spell Child Trafficking?
This book illustrates:
Men who are allowed to behave badly and excused for their behavior
Women who are not believed when they speak out about abuse
Especially black men and women
Also:
Child abuse
Human Trafficking
The sneakiness that child abusers use to groom their victims
What an appropriate relationship looks like - and what it doesn't look like
