Devon Davenport is an only child. Her mother left home at 16 when she discovered she was pregnant. Devon does not know who her father is and knows no relatives. Her mother works two jobs - one at Safeway - and has a series of boyfriends who stay over. Devon has played soccer as keeper since age 11
and is a straight A student. She is very responsible. She meets Connor at the pool while babysitting twin e-year-olds. They have sex one time and Devon is so ashamed that she has broken her rule to never do that, that she refuses to see Devon again. She becomes pregnant and hides the fact from everyone including herself. Many testify on her behalf. She could probably go free, but.... This book was even better with the second reading.
