In the Nothing

Trinity doesn’t know exactly how just yet, but she’s determined to break free. From her aunt’s oppressive household, from memories of her messed-up childhood, and out of her Southeast Washington DC neighborhood where everyone seems to be going nowhere fast. Then she meets Skylar, whose life couldn’t be more different from her own; and lands a job in an affluent part of the city where privileged young men and women live rarefied lives, and seem to have everything but appreciate nothing at all. Deeply intrigued by the stylish, carefree—but sometimes selfish and callous—Skylar, Trinity manages to blend seamlessly into her new friend’s world, relieved that no one notices that she’s different.

Until someone does.

With good-looks, talent, and a bright future, Ethan, Skylar’s boyfriend also has a discerning artist’s eye. He knows there’s much more to Trinity than she’s telling. But as Ethan gets close figuring out Trinity’s secrets, he just may find that Skylar has a few of her own.
