Fiction
An infant left in the trash to die. A teenage mother who
never knew she was pregnant . . . Before That Morning, these were the words most often used to
describe straight-A student and star soccer player Devon
Davenport: responsible, hardworking, mature. But all that
changes when the police find Devon home sick from school as
they investigate the case of an abandoned baby. Soon the
connection is made—Devon has just given birth; the baby in
the trash is hers. After That Morning, there’s only one way
to define Devon: attempted murderer. And yet gifted author Amy Efaw does the impossible— she
turns Devon into an empathetic character, a girl who was in
such deep denial that she refused to believe she was
pregnant. Through airtight writing and fast-paced, gripping
storytelling, Ms. Efaw takes the reader on Devon’s
unforgettable journey toward clarity, acceptance, and
redemption.
