After
This is a very graphic book. Devon, a sophomore, starts feeling odd. She feels...immobile and heavier. When she plays soccer, she is slow to move to block the ball. She is nauseous. But she just thinks she's working herself too hard, she won't let her mind wander further than that. Then one morning, she gets nasty cramps. The next thing she knows, there's a baby on her bathroom floor. Her mom is at work, and Devon doesn't know what to do. She can't admit her failure to herself, so instead of living with her decisions and failures, she dumps dirty stuff from the bathroom in a garbage bag, along with the baby. Little does she know that a man will go by with his dog, and rescue the helpless being. And also set in motion an investigaton and arrest that Devon will have to deal with on her own. Just like most everything else in her life.
