The Original Edition Has Retired.
The Final Farewell Sale ended on July 30, 2026. Thank you to everyone who made it possible — because of you, the remaining original copies found their home.
Farewell Sale Concluded July 30, 2026
The Before 18 Final Farewell Sale has officially ended. We are grateful to every reader who grabbed a final copy of the original edition.
Proceeds from the sale have continued to support our suicide prevention mission, and the counter has been updated to reflect the latest donations.
While a small number of copies remain in the warehouse, the original edition is no longer available for purchase through this farewell event.
Thank you for being part of this chapter.

The New Edition Arrives
Before 18 returns September 8, 2026 at 12:00 PM Eastern Time.
Same powerful story. Completely redesigned. Mark your calendar.
Before 18 was more than my first book — it was the beginning of my journey as an author.
This story helped me find my voice and connected me with readers across the country.
The original edition may be retiring, but this story is far from over.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
A New Chapter Begins.
The next generation of Before 18 arrives September 8, 2026 at 12 PM ET. The release was pushed back from the original date because we have something big happening behind the scenes — and we cannot wait to share it.
