ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

When No One Is Watching by Alyssa Cole is a novel that explores themes of betrayal, gentrification, and community resilience. Sydney, the main character, returns to her childhood neighborhood after her mother’s death only to discover a complex conspiracy involving real estate companies, pharmaceutical corporations, and even private prison companies. As Sydney investigates, she uncovers a "rejuvenation" plan designed to displace long-time residents. With the help of an unexpected ally, Theo, she races to expose the truth and protect her community, while also navigating personal betrayals and her feelings for Theo. The story delves into the historical roots of oppression and the strength found in community resistance.
