After by Amy Efaw
Teen Zone Fiction Main Level - Efaw

Devon Davenport is smart and reliable – an A student with real talent for soccer. She trains and studies hard; a teacher’s and coach’s dream. The book begins with a newborn abandoned in a dumpster behind an apartment complex. How could Devon Davenport possibly be connected to this crime? As the police begin asking questions around the neighborhood, Devon is found bleeding and barely conscious in one of the apartments next to that dumpster. She is raced to the hospital where it is confirmed that she has given birth in the last 24 hours. This book is about Devon’s time in juvenile detention, her conversations with her lawyer, and her ultimate acknowledgement of the crime. It is emotionally intense, shocking, and heartbreaking – but an excellent read!
