![]() ![]() She thought nothing would happen, but she was wrong. ![]() Until, Devon got too friendly with a boy. Devon had it all going for her good at school, good at sports, and good looking. ![]() Have you ever made a mistake in your life? One simple mistake that was more trouble than what it was worth, and you would do anything to take it back? In Amy Efaw’s book, After, Devon is presented with this heartache. Does she deserve that punishment? Did she know what she was doing? Or was her denial so deep that she was unable to register the seemingly unavoidable changes happening to her? Told with empathy and precision, Devon’s story is a gripping page-turner that will challenge your beliefs about conscience and consciousness. But denial can’t make a thing go away, and now Devon’s in a juvenile detention center, facing a possible life sentence for her actions. But then IT happened- the thing that was so horrible, so shameful, and so impossible to imagine that Devon simply chose not to admit to anyone, even herself. Before it all, Devon was a good student, a god athlete, an all-around good girl. ![]()
