Denim Diaries 4: Broken Promises

Jumping double-dutch is 12-year-old Tiffany's favorite pastime. She's the most talented jumper at her school. So when her demeanor changes and she stops jumping rope altogether, Levar, her 16-year-old brother, becomes suspicious, especially when he catches her burning her clothes in a dumpster. But Tiffany won't open up to Levar and withdraws even more. Levar shares his concerns with his friend Denim, who offers to reach out to Tiffany before the unimaginable rips Tiffany's family apart.
