I dont know about other kids past or present, but when I hit high school and as I drew near to the day of my sixteenth birthday, there was only one thought on my mind. That was to get my drivers license and my own car. With those two items in hand, I had obtained my independence! That you heard correctly. To have a license to drive and a set of keys to a car that was there for me to get into and drive away from the farm and go just about anywhere was, in my mind, the ultimate goal a sixteen-year-old could possibly obtain.
Ginny has already survived more than most people. Abused as a child, she now lives an isolated life as a housekeeper at the Run-Rite Inn in a small Texas town. Her closest bonds are with the rooms she cleans, which she attempts to protect from abusive guests. The inn’s devoted manager, Jake, who knows every hinge on every door and the personality of every room, encourages Ginny to think beyond dusting, vacuuming, and scrubbing. But little does she know that he has dreams beyond what the inn provides and will do just about anything to make them come true. When Ginny sees signs that human traffickers are using the inn, she struggles with her intense fear of people. As she begins to suspect that Jake is involved with the illegal operation, she hesitates to intervene, tempted by higher-paying work. But then a shocking discovery brings her face-to-face with her own past, leaving her with no choice but to act—even if it means turning against Jake. Clean is the gripping story of an abused housekeeper who must overcome her inner fears to help women held at a cheap motel by human traffickers.
