15-year-old Chimamanda is one of the many black students at West Regals Highschool. She lives in Illinois, Chicago, in one of the poorer neighborhoods in the city. She is biking home one day from school when she hits a car and is admitted into the hospital. Soon after, she is expelled from her school from lack of attends and her mother is fired by her new supervisor because of her color. Since the only source of income in the Nguyen family runs dry and the hospital bills begin to pile up, they are forced to leave their current neighborhood and use the remaining money to move into Dunterham Heights neighborhood, a rich, all-in-all community. After they move, COVID-19 makes its mark and deprives Chimamanda and her family of any leftover money that was once available. Now that the talk of racial injustice begins and COVID-19, life for the only poor black family around - deteriorates.

Nolan vows never to let anyone in ever again-they always leave. 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.
