Before I Saw You

More about the book

Folks are dying fast as the ash trees in Riverton, a southern Indiana town ravaged by the heroin epidemic. Jaycee Givens lives with nothing more than a thread of hope and a quirky neighbor, Sudie, who rescues injured wildlife. After a tragedy leaves her mother in prison, Jaycee is carrying grief and an unplanned pregnancy she conceals because she trusts no one. Dividing her time between the diner where she works and Sudie's place, Jaycee eventually realizes she can't hide her pregnancy any longer-- not even from the baby's abusive father. Will the choices she makes the safety of her unborn child threaten any chance she ever had for hope and redemption?--adapted from publisher description.
