Friday Solo:

One short presentation at her Dallas high school — that’s all Finley knew about sex trafficking. She and her volleyball teammates talked about it for twenty minutes. An unimaginable world, far from their own. Then they forgot about it; they had games to win.

Now Finley is beyond imagining. Renamed Amber, she’s added to the other girls — boxed like jewels, stripped of their stories. Her sunset-orange hair keeps her in constant demand. The longer she stays, the harder it is to believe she ever had a choice.

But when a new Gem named Topaz turns into an ally, they ignite something in each other — defiance, and the conviction that they were never meant to be owned.

A story of trauma and identity, I'm Finley, Not Amber honors the survivor’s journey without graphic detail and delivers hope in unexpected places.
