In Her Own Time: A Novel of Escape, Survival, and Freedom
Seventeen-year-old Luicia is caught between the fractures of her family and the intoxicating pull of independence. Her father is rigid and haunted by an unspoken past. Her mother is unraveling in a quiet battle to reclaim herself. And Luicia? She's left to navigate the turbulent waters of adolescence alone-finding solace in forbidden relationships, late-night texts, and the steady pull of escape.
But the closer she gets to freedom, the more the weight of her past clings to her. When an enigmatic stranger offers a glimpse of something different-love without conditions-she's forced to question everything. Is escape the same as being free? Or is she destined to repeat the mistakes of those before her?
Years later, that question still lingers. Trapped in a life that feels eerily familiar, older Luicia is forced to face the truth: breaking free isn't just about leaving-it's about choosing to never go back.
Told with raw emotion and unflinching honesty, 'In Her Own Time' is a gripping novel of love and loss, resilience and rebellion. It explores the cycles of generational abuse and asks: how do we reclaim ourselves from the past-and what does it take to finally break free?
For readers of Celeste Ng and Delia Owens, this unforgettable story will stay with you long after the final page.
