Who could do such a thing? Certainly not someone like Devon DavenportÑa straight-A student-athlete with everything going for her.

In a skillfully crafted story, Amy Efaw takes readers through the days leading up toÑand afterÑDevonÕs crime, painting an unexpected picture of a truly empathetic character caught up in an unimaginable situation.
