Ridley Speaks - 9798988681519

In a sun baked southern town near the famous Appalachian Trail, poverty and drug abuse have taken hold, and an eighteen-year-old girl sets out on a single-minded mission to save her future.

In Book Three of The Speaks Saga, Blaize's eldest daughter, Ridley, has finally come of age and can now escape her bleak life, desperate to leave bitter memories behind but she is haunted by them, recounting the trials and struggles of the Speaks family during its darkest period. When she is stranded in Nashville, Ridley must use her wits and her cunning to foil human traffickers who want to groom and exploit her.

With the grit and determination born of her upbringing in Appalachia, Ridley battles her way through Music City's most hallowed streets in a deadly pursuit of vengeance, never losing sight of her ultimate goal, while drawing courage from the very person she'd come to hate.

Readers will discover what happened to Blaize and Jocela at the end of Blaize Speaks, see Timewall as a young boy, and learn the backstories of Tommy, Robbie, Priscilla, and Lainey.
