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.

"The very best books change the way you think about things, and thats exactly what this one did. Efaw makes you feel what Devon feels, understand why and what she did, and come to terms with it. The phrasing is awkward at times, and the third person can be strangely distracting, but in the end, its incredibly well conceived and ultimately well worth reading. "

"I read this book, and to be honest it was one of the greatest books Ive ever read and I hope there is a sequel, or another story that would show the child all grown up, and what happened after Deven was done with the trial, and what she is doing after she gets out of juvinial hall."

"" i read this book for literature class for a reading fair progect i was working when i saw it i thought that i would hate it but i read it and it was a blast!!!. this makes me feel that young adults that are so vulnerable and end up pregnant and dont want the child so they throw it in the trash than paying for abortion. That is pretty sad and it makes me tell my own friends and my adult to prevnt from happening murder or CRIME!!!:[""
