Filled with heartbreak and betrayal, triumph and
fulfillment, The Right Time is an intimate, richly
rewarding novel about pursuing one’s passion and succeeding
beyond one’s wildest dreams.
Abandoned by her mother at age seven, Alexandra Winslow
takes solace in the mysteries she reads with her devoted
father—and soon she is writing them herself, slowly
graduating to dark, complex crime stories that reflect
skill, imagination, and talent far beyond her years. After
her father’s untimely death, at fourteen Alex is taken in by
the nuns of a local convent, where she finds twenty-six
mothers to take the place of the one she lost, and the time
and encouragement to pursue her gift.
Alex writes in every spare moment, gripped by the plots and
themes and characters that fill her mind. Midway through
college, she has finished a novel—and manages to find a
seasoned agent, then a publisher. But as she climbs the
ladder of publishing success, she resolutely adheres to her
father’s admonition: Men read crime thrillers by men
only—and so Alexandra Winslow publishes under the pseudonym
Alexander Green, her true identity known only to those
closest to her, creating a double life that isolates her.
Her secret life as the mysterious and brilliantly successful
Alexander Green—and her own life as a talented young
woman—expose her to the envious, the arrogant, and Hollywood
players who have no idea who she really is. Always, the
right time to open up seems just out of reach, and would
cost her dearly. Once her double life and fame are
established, the price of the truth is always too high.
