Summary

A Damaged Girl tells the stories of a woman struggling to overcome a horrible past and take control of her future. With the help of her brother, they settle all past scores—but will her quest for revenge jeopardize her future?

Essence® bestselling author Travis Hunter tells the story of a young woman who takes control of her own destiny after lifelong abuse.

Zola Zaire never had a chance to choose her man. Raped at fourteen, her mother threw her out at sixteen, and she was forced to live with a man three times her age. Abuse was all she’d known, and she has gotten comfortable as a bottom dweller—until her son is taken from her. That’s when she decides to become the predator instead of the prey.

Author Biography

Travis Hunter is an author, screenwriter, director, and public speaker. His first novel, The Hearts of Men, was originally published in 2000 by Hunter’s own company, Jimrose Publishing House.

And so began a successful evolution of published adult novels: Married but Still Looking, Trouble Man, A One Woman Man, Something to Die For, A Family Sin, Dark Child, and Momma’s a Virgin. Inspired by his work with teens as the founder of The Hearts of Men Foundation, Hunter created a young adult series: Two the Hard Way, At the Crossroads, and On the Come Up which were published by Kensington Publishing Group.

Hunter is a native of Florence, South Carolina and resides in an Atlanta suburb.
