Before After And Everything In Between is a story about two teens navigating their journey of grief and love.

Emmaline O'brien, a timid, too-pure-for-this-world, teenage girl, has always lived in the shadow of her older brother Benny, but not because of whatever you're thinking. No, Emmy isn't allowed to feel any kind of way about this because Benny has lived with cancer since they were kids. 

Cue Cameron Thomas, the tall and brooding football player, who happens to play the cliche older brother's best friend role in Emmy's life. Except, Cam has a lot of feelings and isn't just an all-american NFL bound teen with a bright future ahead of him.

What happens when losing Benny breaks the both of them? How do the pair steer these overwhelming feelings? When Benny's depression jeopardizes his future and Emmy is caught in a seemingly "picture perfect" relationship due to its uncomfortable familiarity, feelings get caught in crossroads, and it seems the two may never get the closure they need.

We are not the broken clichés you want us to be anymore. We have transcended beyond the "Good Girl ~ Bad Boy" boxes they tried to put us in. We are so far beyond all that now, that we are finally free of all those stereotypes. The story of us is not the usual cliche "good girl" meets "bad boy" that instantly fall in love. Oh, and after a few almost funny mishaps everything works out perfectly story. Or the other one where the brooding bad boy with a tragic past gets a second chance to become a happy, well-adjusted person again. All thanks to the love of an awesomely perfect popularity princess with a pure heart of gold. Who sees "something special" inside him, that no one else can see ...and sets him on a straight path. All that once in a lifetime fairy dust love, that only exists for perfect pretty popularity princesses in the happily ever after. No, this is the other kind of love story ...the messy kind, that messes peoples lives up irrevocably, for all time. The real kind of love story, that comes hand in hand with hopes and fears, and all that real hurt that burns at your heart. So while our Crazy love might not be as bright and shiny as that fairy dust love is ...our love will kick your loves ass any day of the week, and twice on Sunday. Because our love knows the secret truth about itself. That it's not about how perfectly you fall in love, it's how you get the back up after love kicks your ass sideways, and you come back looking for more. Because our love is that Crazy kind of love, that is so forever you have to fight for it 'till the bitter end ...or die trying. The kind of love that comes with beer, pizza, football and a hell of a lot of laughs ...but mostly at everyone else's expense. ~First Place Chicklit - 2017 Blue Rose Award~ ~ Second Place for Teen Fiction - The Star Blazer Awards 2018~ ~ Honorable Mention for Best Plot - 2017 Royalty Awards ~

She soon finds herself running away from the terrible memories left behind in Borne to attempt an escape once in for all. Whether that be to Chicago or elsewhere, Zooey isn't sure, but she knows no matter where it is, it may be best to take her painful past with her and continue to keep it a secret from those it impacts the most. But with several relationships from home begging Zooey for closure from her first disappearing act, it may not be so easy for her to go quietly like she had planned.
