After
by Amy Efaw
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.
After is a heartbreaking story ripped straight from the headlines. Young adults will find themselves drawn into Devon's life as they try to make sense of her actions and the resulting consequences. For more information and resources on After head to Efaw's website.
