For Vanessa, the low income housing complex in the middle of the desert in El Mirage, Arizona represents all that is wrong with her life. Her neighbours get it on all night long, she sees an abusive husband kill his wife and then himself, and her own ex-husband keeps showing up and getting into her pants. The one bright spot in Vanessa's life is her daughter, Kennedy, and her love for the piano. Kennedy is practicing to audition for an esteemed music academy that Vanessa can in no way afford, especially after losing her housekeeping job. But Vanessa isn't one to give up and she'll do anything to help her daughter succeed, even if it means sacrificing her own chances for a better life.

Darnella Ford, the author of Crave and Rising, is a spoken-word artist. She performs regularly in the Los Angeles area, where she lives with her daughter. She is currently at work on her next novel.
