"A riveting story told in a voice that will resonate with teens." —School Library Journal For seventeen years, Xander Fife has been keeping secrets. (Almost) no one knows about his abusive father. If he can get through this summer, he's off to college, where real life finally begins.
What's more, the summer before college will be amazing: lots of pick-up soccer, long days hanging out with friends, and an epic road trip. Xander also is banking on some long overdue nights with his ideal girlfriend, the amazing Gretchen Taylor. |
Instead of kicking off what had promised to be an amazing summer, however, graduation day brings terror. When Xander's mother is murdered, his family’s secrets are thrust out into the open, and Xander must confront his greatest fear.
Armed with a fake ID, cash, and a knife, Xander skips town and assumes a new identity. Hundreds of miles from home and in danger, one thing is clear: Xander’s real life is already in progress and just getting through it isn’t enough.
Signed and personalized copies of Life Before are available from Secret Garden Books in Seattle.
