But on a summer day two years later, when the super upbeat, Nora walks to his lunch table-Nolan has to try a bit harder to keep a smile off his face. Little does he know that Nora is fighting a battle of her own, one that no one could even imagine. And as the two get closer, they not only find solace in each other but in God. When Nolan is faced with a situation in which he has to break Nora's trust to protect her, can their budding relationship still stand and will God show up in all of this?

NOTICE: Before the Morning is currently undergoing revisions! A sensitivity reader (someone who goes through your manuscript and assesses representations in your work) identified a number of issues surrounding the Filipino representation in BTM. I'm rewriting with the goal of creating a more authentic and respectful story. I'm sorry for the pain I caused by failing to include accurate Filipino culture and in having written from Nora's point of view.

They live with their mother, Anna Gonzalez and her good friend - who was more of a fatherly figure in their life - Mike Johnson, who also used to be an FBI agent. They were living a pretty decent life until they received a call from Mike to say that their mother was admitted to a hospital. Imagine their shock when they learn about their mother's sickness and the fact that they would be living with father. And not to mention the fact that Philip Jones - their father - is the father of four boys that are way to smiley. This just irritates them even more. But they have to cope with it. Thinking that, they both packed their bags and reluctantly went to stay with their father. Not knowing what kind of danger they were walking into. ||◻️||◼️||◻️||◼️||◻️||◼️||◻||️◼️||◻||️◼️|| ⚠️Warnings⚠️ 1) I can't say that this book is funny because it most definitely is not. 2) Grammar is not perfect because English is not my first language.
