TWO BITS AND THE COLD OF DECEMBER

Ottawa, 1975. Three days to come up with the rent, two quarters in her pocket, and one night that will change everything. Before Latifa became the woman the world judged, she was just a girl trying not to freeze. Two Bits and the Cold of December is a standalone short story from the world of After the Stars Burn Out - a glimpse into the night she learned the cost of survival.
