“You’re a good kid, Henry.”
Everyone knew that he was a good guy; geeky, responsible, hard-working. Henry has had a lot to deal with in the past. Now, as he should be focusing on his schooling and preparing himself for the future, he is hindered by abuse, the challenge of raising his baby brother while dealing with his mother’s deep depressions, and the return of a ghost from the past Henry has tried his best to forget.
But it seems that Henry can’t avoid the nastiness of life. As hard as he tries, it’s one more disaster after another as his life spirals out of control.
Can Henry escape the darkness, or is he doomed to be consumed by it?
By the author of Ruby, Between the Cracks, a winner of the Top Ten Best Books for Teens 2015 award, this poignant account of Henry's descent into darkness will challenge you to look at youth crime in another light.
Praise for Deviation
-- I was caught up in the twists and turns of the plot from the beginning of Deviation and was still surprised at the end.
-- This book could actually happen. That is what makes it so scary! I am really looking forward to the next book in the series. I am thoroughly intrigued and want to see what happens next.
-- “Deviation” will play on your emotions and feed your doubts as you follow Henry through his many troubles and trials.

Deviation Breaking the Pattern Book 1 eBook PD Workman
The first in the Breaking the Pattern series by P.D. Workman.This book was so good and also very sad. The main character, Henry, has taken care of his little baby brother, Bobby, since he was born. He also tries to take care of his trouble mother and put up with her boyfriend, Clint who is mean to Henry. I highly disliked him...
Henry gets into trouble without even trying and is for the most part a very good young man.
He runs into the only man that was ever a father to him and wants to have him as a part of his life. He even takes Bobby when he goes to visit him. But Frank starts acting strange around Bobby when he is holding him and tells Henry to take him home. Henry is confused by his sudden change in how he acts towards him too.
He finds out that Frank has been arrested for being around him and Bobby and that he is a pedophile. The police come to Henry's house to question him and his mother tells them that he had bothered Henry when he was just a little kid. But Henry does not remember any of that and thinks his mother is lying. But is she? Was he molested by the one person that he trusted so much?
Girls start getting killed, mostly prostitutes. Sandy, a prostitute that you'll meet and get to know more in book 2 has befriended Henry and helped him in many ways. He gets hooked on drugs and ends up in jail. Could he have been the murder? A sweet young boy who was such a good brother to baby Bobby? Did the mental system let him down by putting him on the wrong kind of meds?
Henry's favorite thing to do was take pictures. Every time he got any extra money he bought more photography items to help him. He took pictures of women that he thought were beautiful without them knowing it. Sandy was shocked to find out that he had taken so many pictures of her and she didn't appreciate it either. She told him to not take pictures of her, and there is a big reason for that too.
My heart broke for Henry through so much in this book and I was hoping that eventually things would work out for him and Bobby. If you want to know if they did you will have to read this book and the next two to find out the whole story. It will touch your heart and make you mad in many ways. I think the system had a part in the things that happened to Henry but that does not make everything okay.
A heartwarming, sad, intense story that will keep you turning pages until the end. I loved it and gave it a 5 star rating... P.D. Workman has a wonderful gift and some of her books could very well help us all to see things about the mental health care system and the foster care system are not always what we think they are.

Deviation Breaking the Pattern Book 1 eBook PD Workman Reviews
I didn't get past the first 50 pages.
Not my normal cup of tea, but a good read none the less. A good coming of age story. Some people go through hell.
This book grabs you from the beginning. The story weaves in and out around the character and just sucks you in. Without being a spoiler, the ending will surprise you.
Although Henry is definitely not my favorite character, this book & the following 2 are amazing-- well written, very realistic plot & characters & I was very pleased with the story-
A book that I can figure out the ending from the very beginning loses the intrigue that has me turning pages quicker than the Road Runner can outrun a foe.
It’s well written and I am certain plenty of folks will enjoy it. It has an unusual plot and story line and I thought that aspect is what had me still reading. The characters are ordinary folks as opposed to cops versus bad a** killer..
This was a difficult story to read, yet also difficult to put down. It's the first book in a series, but does not end in a cliffhanger.
This story is a tragedy based on reality. It's not just about mental illness. It's about poverty, opportunity, family, friendship, and moral values. Teenage years are often filled with confusion and strife. A good family and friend support system is essential for strong character development. Without it, one might be susceptible to repeating mistakes, making poor decisions, or doing very bad things. Such is the case for the main character in this horribly sad story.
This is a book that I can't stop thinking about. It was easy to get into this new story by PD Workman, Henry is a fun character and one you come to love. I'm not sure quite how to categorize this story, it's part mystery, part psychological thriller, part YA lit, part life story, etc... The novel is told through Henry's eyes and admittedly about half-way through I was very confused as Henry's life continued on a downward spiral (there were times when I thought, how much farther down can this kid possibly GO?), I couldn't figure out what was going on, and there were times I was just so thrown off kilter that I about gave up, but yet, I HAD to keep reading! I HAD too! lol! I wanted to figure out what in the world was happening with Henry in his mind and in his real life and what was really going on. Now, I'm on pins and needles hoping that Ms. Workman will release the next book soon because I feel like I have to know what happens to Henry and his baby brother Bobby. This book will leave you thinking about your own life, your own thoughts and what really goes on each and every day. Really unique story and an interesting point of view. This story also gives insight on how quickly and easily it can be for a "good" kid to get on the wrong path and how hard it can/would be to get back on the right path. Truly a thought-provoking book!
