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.
Who would do something so terrible? Certainly not someone like Devon—straight-A student, soccer player with Olympic dreams, more mature than her own mother. But desperation and panic drove her to do what most people can’t even imagine. Now Devon ’s in a juvenile detention center charged with attempted murder. If she’s tried as an adult, she faces life in prison.
Does Devon deserve that punishment? Your answer depends on whether you believe her story.

I recently found out about this book from reading a summary, and it sounded to interesting. After reading your review, I just have to get this book. I really would like to find out what happens to Devon and the story behind everything.

Thanks for holding the contest! This book seems so...I don't know how to classify it, but it really seems cool. Like LOVELY BONES.
