A lover consumed by betrayal. A mother haunted by shame. A woman searching for what remains of herself.
It begins in 1927, in the vineyards of AndalucÃa.
As Spain descends toward civil war, the Munduya family is swept into a legacy of silence, violence, and impossible choices. What begins there refuses to remain buried. Across decades and continents-from Spain to Nicaragua to North America-the consequences of charismatic men, concealed histories, and rewritten identities continue to shape the lives of those left behind.
Years after a devastating betrayal alters the course of her life, Isabelle Duval becomes obsessed with a man she thought she knew. As she reconstructs the hidden history of a family she never met, she discovers that disappearance is not always an event. Sometimes it is an inheritance.
Bound together by betrayal, grief, and memory, three women-each haunted in her own way-are forced to confront the lives they were given and the truths they can no longer escape.
Spanning nearly a century, When I Became Never is a literary psychological thriller exploring intergenerational trauma, identity, obsession, and the fragile boundary between memory and truth.
Selected as one of The Seaboard Review of Books' 2025 Best Picks, this second edition features a new foreword by Canadian author Anne M. Smith-Nochasak.
