About this Item

Paperback. IN TOO DEEP: A Newport News Story is a gripping true-crime inspired novel about survival, sisterhood, and the impossible choices we make when desperation meets opportunity. Set in the sweltering summer of 1994 in Newport News, Virginia, the novel follows Emily "Juicy" Cotton and her younger sister Rhonda "Butter" Cotton as they navigate the treacherous intersection of college dreams and street survival. When a lucrative opportunity to dance at exclusive parties presents itself, the sisters see a way out of poverty, a chance to pay tuition, escape their circumstances, and build better lives. But what begins as a calculated risk spirals into a dangerous world of drug trafficking, federal investigations, and impossible moral compromises. Caught between their ambitions and the criminal underworld, Juicy and Butter must make devastating choices that will test their bond and force them to confront the true cost of survival. This is a story about two intelligent, determined women who refuse to be defined by their circumstances. Even as those circumstances threaten to destroy them. It's about redemption, sacrifice, and the complicated path to freedom. This item is printed on demand.
