Everything Before the Fight
Dana knows her son.
She knows the difference between an ordinary bad day and the kind a child tries to make sound smaller than it is.
At first, it is only little things. A strange boy in the lunchroom. A pencil taken. A shoulder bump in the hallway. A joke that does not feel like a joke anymore.
But little things have a way of growing.
As the school days pass, Dana begins to realize that Malik is carrying more than he says, and all the usual advice feels painfully thin.
Ignore it.
Walk away.
Do not react.
Tell the teacher.
Let the school handle it.
Malik tries to do what everyone tells him to do. Dana tries to trust the process. But when the pressure keeps building in the places adults cannot see, mother and son are pushed toward a moment neither of them is prepared for.
Everything Before the Fight is an emotionally gripping novel about bullying, silence, fear, parenting, and the unbearable weight of realizing danger long before you know how to stop it.
