Why is Tara so driven to help the less fortunate? What does she learn about human nature that changes her forever?The Foundation is a gripping tale about forced prostitution that explores the impact of choices we make in our lives, and it immerses you into a world of darkness and shadows, while offering a glimpse of hope that sometimes one person can make a difference.This novel is for mature audiences.
