Breonna Morris thought her marriage to Tyler was perfect. Never mind all the hours she spent at work. Never mind the time she wasted shopping and partying with her best friend, Courtney. Never mind being a wife. She was living the married life as a single woman, while Tyler slowly drifted away.

Breonna’s world turns upside down when she wakes up one morning to find that Tyler is gone. Desperate to find meaning in his disappearance, she reaches out to him. Tyler makes it very clear that he wants nothing else to do with her, that he’s tired of being a single, married man. He’s moved on. Breonna is devastated, realizing that not only is she suddenly husbandless, but she’s also pregnant.

Courtney gives her a crazy idea to put an ad in the local paper to search for a father figure for her baby. Breonna follows through with the idea and is excited with the responses she receives. She even conducts interviews with the most qualified candidates. One in particular catches her eye, Vaughn Ramos – a sexy, tall Puerto-Rican papi who wants to play daddy in more ways than one. There’s only one problem – Tyler doesn’t know that she’s pregnant.

(Rathsi Publishing Company)

From the Outside In is my journey through learning to love a 5-year-old little girl, then losing her through a horrific and brutal rape and murder. This story journals my quest to find the answer to the many unanswered questions surrounding her death, as well as how to manage the many conflicting stories regarding the circumstances of her death.

What makes this book compelling is the backdrop. Bridgette was the daughter of a social worker who worked in child protection services. I did too… We could protect other people’s children, but not our own. The names have been changed to protect the innocent and the not so innocent.

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write From the Outside In?

Deidra D. S. Green: What inspired me to write this story is the tremendous sense of sadness and guilt I felt then and continue to feel after Bridgette’s Continue reading 5 Minutes, 5 Questions With… Deidra D. S. Green, author of From the Outside In →
