The Night Ballerina

When twenty-one-year-old Kayla Monroe loses everything—her apartment, her car, and the last of her belongings in a storage unit she can’t afford to keep—she faces a choice no small-town girl ever dreams of making. Born and raised in Jackson, Michigan, Kayla has always played it safe: quiet shifts at the diner, polite smiles, and a promise to herself to save her innocence for love, not survival. But when desperation meets opportunity, she buys a one-way bus ticket to Atlanta, Georgia, chasing rumors of a club called The Velvet Room where the lights never sleep and the money falls like rain. In the glittering chaos of Atlanta’s nightlife, Kayla learns that survival can be seductive, and power can come dressed in silk and sequins. Each dance, each dollar, and each glance in the mirror pulls her closer to the woman she’s becoming—and farther from the girl she used to be. But beneath the music and the money, danger waits in dark corners, and not everyone who smiles is a friend. When past and present collide, Kayla must decide: will she rise and own her new world, or let it consume her whole? “Down in Atlanta” is a raw, emotional coming-of-age drama about innocence lost, womanhood discovered, and the price of survival in a city built on temptation.
