Last Stop from Innocence

A nostalgic tale of first love, first loss, and the budding womanhood of a Black girl in the '90s. Tragedy flips Amore Brown's world on its axis right before she heads off to college. Having to sit tight for the summer, she chooses Jersey City, New Jersey—the home of her estranged father—to pass the time. Here, in urban grit, a stark contrast to the comforts of suburbia, she reconnects with a long-lost cousin for some final months of summer excursions, enrooting, and evolving. But it could never be that simple, even if it were all so simple then.... How much will Amore have to lose in order to find herself? On the road to the woman she is becoming and removed from the girl she is no more, one stop changes her path forever. "Girls just want to have fun" transforms into the kindling of summer romance tucked into the crust of good times, tribulations, close calls, and one hot summer in Jersey. Amore meets THE guy, finds solace, heals fresh wounds, and battles the thorny relationship with her father, all while learning that heartache has no limits.
