Chicago, 2001. Seventeen-year-old Heather is pregnant, terrified, and utterly alone. In a desperate, secret decision, she gives her baby up for adoption -- a choice that tears her apart and leaves her drowning in guilt and grief.

Determined to escape the pain, Heather plunges into a brutal world of addiction, exploitation, prostitution, sex work, and violence. Her life spirals into a chaotic blur of raves, drug binges, smuggling runs, sexual abuse, and a relentless cycle of self-destruction. As the darkness deepens, death becomes an all-too-familiar presence.

When her world finally collapses, Heather is faced with a stark choice: keep falling deeper into the shadows -- or fight for the impossible. To claw her way out and reclaim her body, her identity, and her power.

Perfect for readers of raw, true-life memoirs, addiction and recovery stories, and powerful tales of resilience, Moxy explores themes of trauma, survival, sexual exploitation, and self-discovery after abuse. This unflinching account of transformation is a fierce testament to the strength of the human spirit and the fight for self-worth.

"Moxy is a blistering portrait of the art of resilience. You'll feel it in your teeth."
