Publisher's Summary

Joon chose homelessness over foster care. Can she survive the harsh life of the seedy city streets?

(The Home Street Home series is a collection of stand-alone novels.)

Eight-year-old Joon has no time to grieve her parents’ sudden death. Ripped from the security of a loving family, she endures horrific abuse in a system intended to protect her. After four years of torture and her foster brother’s attempt to steal her innocence, she runs away to Philadelphia’s poverty-stricken streets.

Coming of age while homeless, Joon must fight just to stay alive. Despite the danger and desperation that surrounds her, she clings to her dream of offering the world something positive. But kind acts don’t put food in her belly as she searches for love and a place to call home.

Never Be Alone is a stand-alone dark psychological thriller. If you are looking for courageous characters, an edgy story, and a heartbreaking true-to-life tale, then you need to listen to this audiobook.

Warning: 18+ listeners only. Graphic content and subject matter.

Praise for Never Be Alone

"Joon goes from one nightmare to the next but keeping her soul good is a masterclass in storytelling. Dearth's style is like a street VC Andrews with all the drama. Her characters are well drawn and deeply felt. When I close my eyes, I can see them vividly emerge from the darkness." (The Literary License Podcast)
