: Pumps and Pistols follows the story of a woman named Audalina, who was taken off the streets after running away from her abusive parents by a powerful woman named Denise Killian. Braving the harsh winters of New York for months in the streets, she was determined to cement a place for herself. That's how she finds herself enrolled in an academy owned and operated by Killian's husband. After completing her education and training, Audalina decides to work for the Pumps and Pistols agency.
Audalina finds herself climbing the ranks with sheer grit and hard work, making it to the prestigious security detail tasked to protect the first female black president—and a woman she has personal ties with—Denise. Happy to be a part of this team, Audalina finds herself conflicted, with her heart lying elsewhere. And though she had always been content with her work and friendships, she yearns for more as she gets to know the man who sparked the fire of passion within her—the charismatic Kyle. However, as the threats against the president become deadly and the enemies begin approaching, she finds herself torn between duty and ardor.
Pumps and Pistols portrays how real friendships form and how real friends are there for you no matter what circumstances you find yourself in. Through Audalina's eyes, we learn of loss, how unexpectedly it comes and how harrowing it can be, and how we can deal with it. Most importantly, though, we learn that nothing is as it seems and how we can sometimes be deceived from a place we least expect to be. The book nudges us to the idea of how a betrayal like that leaves you unable to trust again, making you question every thought and every moment you share with the person who betrayed you. This, the book tells us, has the potential to drive someone crazy with questions, all of which center on whether anything had ever been real or if it was all an elaborate lie.
