Chapter one - Chapter three

             I was originally not planning on reading this book. I was going to read a book by the author that we heard speak, but when I went to find her book they had all been checked out. So I looked around for a book and couldn't find on so Aide went and picked one off the shelf of Abe Chose Award books. I went to read the inside cover about the book and write at the top in large letters it said "Who would leave her own baby in the trash to die?" This sentence caught my attention and made me want to read it even more.
            In the first chapter, it talks about how Devon the main girl in the story is laying on the couch with a blanket and is just blankly staring at the screen. Then her mom comes home and is surprised to see her daughter because Devon would never miss school. Devon is trying to listen to her mom when she talks to her but can't seem to focus on what she is saying. After a while of trying to get her to talk her mom gives up and then their is a knock on the door. Devon stayed laying on the couch when her mom answered the door and it was two police officers. They were asking about finding the baby and were wondering if she had seen anything, she said no but that her daughter may have. So the one officer went over to Devon and was trying to talk to her but she was having trouble focusing. Her mom wanted her to focus so she ripped off her blanket and they all looked at each other shocked and then Devon looked down at her pants and sees blood and then starts saying sorry to her mom.
            In the next chapter, Devon is on a gurney heading into the hospital, she is so confused and doesn't know where she is. She is taken to a room and  a doctor and a nurse come in and try to get Devon to calm down after telling her that they need to examine her. They gave her a sedative and when they finally examined her they found out that the placenta hadn't been delivered, so she had to go into surgery.

            In chapter three, Devon is getting put into the back of a police car after spending a few days in the hospital. As they drive she looks at the town and can see all the places she knows. They arrive at the juvenile detention canter at Remann Hall. http://www.k12guides.com/school/Remann-Hall-Juvenile-Detention-Center%3B530870002171.html. When they get their the one officer goes into the building and the other helps Devon out of the car and into the building. She sites their for a little while when the officer tells the lady about who she was and then the lady behind the glass window asked Devon some questions. After she was done asking questions, another lady took her back and told her that their was a lot of things to do because Devon had a court appointment at one o'clock. When it came time for her court appointment she was sitting out in the hall way along side other kids waiting for their court appointment, zoning out. During the trial Devon couldn't keep up with the law talk and didn't know what was going on and didn't want to ask the lawyer. After the lawyers talk for a little while the judge asked a women to talk. The lady starts talking about how they can find Devon's mom and how she wont answer her phone and she hasn't gone to her work, and has abandoned her home. This upset Devon but she knew that it was going to hapen after seeing the look on her face.
