An idea for a story I've had for a long time, but never moved forward with actually writing, is a young girl (high school senior) has been raised by her single mother her entire life. One day she comes home from school to discover her mom being arrested on charges of prostitution (turns out Real Estate wasn't her only source of income).
Left home alone after the cops leave, the girl searches the house in search of answers and finds her mother's "little black book" where she recorded all of her *ahem* business transactions. And long story short, in order to raise the money needed to defend her mom in court (or provide bail), the daughter begins calling the numbers in the book and offering her services in place of her mother.
At one point I think I had in mind the charges were more severe than simple prostitution... that mom had run afoul of a senator (also one of her clients) who arranged for her to be imprisoned. At one point I even had in mind that perhaps this senator was the girl's long-absent father as well.
Anyway, just thought I'd share. I'm not doing anything with it, so maybe it will spark someone else's imagination and be of use!
