Before He Was Born: 30 Black Women Who Shaped the World

By Valentine Emmanuel Harris

Before He Was Born is a haunting psychological thriller about a mother's impossible choice. Elizabeth Prescott, a devoted wife living in small-town Georgia in the mid-1970s, finally gets the news she's longed for--she's pregnant. But what should be a joyful new chapter turns dark when she begins experiencing vivid, prophetic dreams about the child growing inside her. In her sleep, Elizabeth witnesses a horrifying future: her unborn son, David, grows up to become a calculated serial killer known as the "Noose Killer," leaving behind victims, symbolic messages, and a terrifying signature--"You failed the test." As the dreams deepen, she sees detectives chasing him, a public trial, national panic, and her family unraveling. Every morning, she wakes with her heart racing, unsure if what she's seen is just a nightmare--or a glimpse of fate. As Elizabeth searches for answers--through her best friend Nina, through old journals, and through her own memories--she's pulled deeper into a mystery that straddles time, love, and legacy. Are the visions real? Is evil something inherited--or shaped by the world? And if you knew your child was destined to do the unthinkable, could you still carry them to term? Gripping, heartbreaking, and thought-provoking, Before He Was Born explores the limits of maternal love, the weight of intuition, and the question that lingers long after the final page: Would you still choose love?
