Ash and the Favour Man. Ash, #1

Ash and the Favour Man Nine-year-old Ashleigh is no ordinary girl - through no fault of her own. She has an attitude to rival any Diva and the solid steel balls to back it up. The only thing her parents taught her was how to take a beating and she's sick of learning that particular lesson. When she is introduced to 'The Favour Man' lives are going to be changed - some for the better, others not so much. Not much in Ash's life runs smoothly but the autumn of her ninth year, she is forced to deal with more adventure, hardship, abuse and pieces of the harshest reality than she could have imagined and it knocks the previous years' experiences into a cocked hat.
Junkies, dealers, paedophiles and hitmen all show up virtually on her doorstep and she has a battle on, not only to stay alive, but to keep hold of her sanity if she can.
