Summary
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 14 Alex is taken in by the nuns of a local convent, where she finds 26 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 and 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 and 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.

*Timing*
Alexandra Winslow has not had the best start. Her father adored her but she was an inconvenience for her mother. Her mother had big dreams to be a starlet and kept disappearing with the next meal ticket and had affairs along the way. Her father overcompensated and had a love of crime stories which he shared with Alexandra. By age 7 her mother left for good.
At school she wrote a crime story which horrified her teachers so much so that they dragged her father into the school. They thought she was disturbed. Her Father had a different take after reading it and was impressed and he could see had real talent.
As her aspirations to write were getting stronger her father warned that no one would buy a crime book by a woman. Tragedy strikes and Alex is only 14. She is eventually taken in by nuns who were not sure about having her there at first but they encouraged her to follow her dream.
She was so dedicated to writing and rarely socialised. At 19 after securing an agent and an editor her first book was born with one stipulation thinking of her father’s words her identity was to remain anonymous and she would write under the name Alexander Green.
We see how boyfriend’s who want to write try to belittle her claiming she could never write anything anywhere near as good as the talent of her male pseudonym. She keeps her secret going and chose to remain single until the right one came along.
Over time we see how much her secret takes its toll on her and we see more heartbreak for her with glimmers of joy along the way.
Will she ever reveal her secret to the world? When exactly would be the right time….
