"Skillfully written, emotionally raw."--School Library Journal, starred review

"After is a truly touching novel that everyone should read."--The Book Obsession Blog

Before it all, Devon was a good student, a good athlete, an all-around good girl. But then IT happened--the thing that was so horrible, so shameful, so impossible to imagine that Devon simply chose not to admit it to anyone, even herself. 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.

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?
