This chilling childhood rhyme haunts Camilla's days and nights, but she doesn't know why. Neither does she understand her aversion to jump ropes and her intense dislike for the smell of mahogany. In fact, her name is about all she does know. After witnessing her mother's violent murder, six-year-old Camilla mentally shuts down. The Spanish-style Floridian home Camilla has always known holds too many memories for her father, so he loads Camilla and her three older brothers into 'Old Red' and drives until he sees the 'For Sale' sign in Mount Vernon, Washington. Still unable to reconcile her mother's death, Camilla finds societal norms difficult to adhere to and is easily impacted by her only friend, Savannah. But as the years pass, Savannah's malicious nature makes itself known, and Camilla is powerless to resist her influence. She soon finds herself involved in the murder of her unborn baby's father. Because Camilla is then diagnosed as mentally ill, she is relegated to a nearby mental institution, where her story unfolds with compassion, humor, and shocking truths through a series of hypnotherapy sessions with the intriguing Dr. Rowan. Delve deep into the mind of a mentally unstable woman who has witnessed two brutal murders, and find out what happened Not Last Night, but the Night Before.
