This is a violent type book. An 11 year old girl is picked up at school one day by here dad that had been in prison for last 6 years. Come to find out that he got out because of a unexpected legal ruling that allowed him out early. Unfortunately while in prison others found out he was getting out and wanted him to join their gang on the outside. He refused and during fight killed a prisoner but did get away with it but the gang knew. They put a hit on him and his family. He had gone first to his now ex-wife's house & found her murdered with her new husband. That is why he picked up daughter at school to protect her. He feels best way to stay alive is to take fight to the gang and does some training with his daughter as well. They hit the gang's drug house and also a few other places. Overall a pretty violent book, the child being 11 really seems too young for the actions being done in this book. Some interesting insights into the whole gang system/drugs in the LA area.
Was reading this when the LA fires started so sort of felt for the people in the areas mentioned in the book as well.
There are 2 WL for this book and will probably post & send off at some point. I haven't mailed a book in probably a month but still have enough credits for now. It is very cold and snow/ice still on ground so no reason to hit post office at this point.
