When naive young Roxanne arrives in the gritty streets of London's King's Cross, she quickly falls into a world of vice, befriended by two fellow prostitutes, Beth and Caddy. Together, they navigate the perilous life of the city's underworld, controlled by Terry, their manipulative and money-hungry employer. As Roxanne becomes entangled in the dangers of this shadowy world, with Beth's guidance, she begins to regret her fateful decision to come to London and immerse herself in a life she never intended.
Through tragedy and moments of dark humour, THE ROAD LESS TRAVELLED sheds light on the raw realities of life on the streets, where exploitation, vulnerability, and survival collide.

A gripping, unflinching look at the lives of the lost and vulnerable, this novel is sure to provoke strong reactions, from empathy to outrage, and perhaps even reluctant smiles. It's not a book for the faint of heart or those who shy away from uncomfortable truths. It offers a collection of ideas and observations that supplement the story's central themes, challenging readers to think beyond the narrative and reflect on broader societal issues.
