The Antique Picker’s Daughter
“The first thing you need to know: They’re not antiques.
The second thing you need to know: I’m not his daughter.”
After becoming homeless on the streets of Toronto, teenage Frankie finds herself traveling southern Ontario with a man old enough to be her father. But it turns out life on the road holds dangers Frankie can’t anticipate, and threats from his past jeopardize them both. What does the Antique Picker really want, and what secrets is he keeping from her?
