Nooga

She went looking for her father and found the secrets of an entire institution.

Seventeen-year-old Chattanooga “Nooga” Talley has always believed Asa Talley is her father—until a passport application reveals an empty line on her birth certificate. Her search leads to Philip Kersey, the celebrated founder of a refuge for vulnerable teenage girls and a man eager to claim her.

When a frightened resident warns her about Kersey’s hidden archive, Nooga tries to expose him legally. Witnesses recant, evidence disappears, and girls are scheduled to be moved. To stop him, she begins using his own methods: deception, coercion, and blackmail.
