Through the Eyes of a Child

Everything around Payshence seems to turn to mush. During a neighborhood drug bust, Payshence is arrested, and charged for possession of her boyfriend's marijuana, and has not even hit the age of fifteen. Payshence befriends a cop who convinces her that he can get her out of trouble, but even he becomes a little more than what she bargained for. Adding to the chaos, Payshence witnesses a murder, leaving her afraid for her life; she is forced to get on the right track, but going to school and fitting in with teenagers her age is not working out. The death of her mother sends her on a tailspin. Can she overcome the pressure and the grief, or will she run back to the streets that she has grown accustomed? The author is taking you back on another stomach-dropping ride combining drama with poetry, "through the eyes of a child." Payshence must change her circumstances, or fall victim to herself, and let her circumstances kill her.
