Told in two hauntingly intimate parts, Where Were You All Along? traces the journey of a woman searching for clarity, connection, and a sense of self in the wake of absence.
In the first part, addressed to her deceased mother, the narrator revisits a childhood shaped by separation - raised by a grandmother after her parents' divorce, carrying questions that were never answered, feelings never voiced. This is not a letter of blame, but a reckoning with memory: tender, raw, and unflinchingly honest.
The second part shifts inward, following the narrator into adulthood - becoming a teacher, a wife, a woman abroad and then back in New York - navigating the pressures of ambition, the pull of intimacy, and the quiet weight of expectation. Torn between roles she didn't choose and dreams she can't quite name, she begins to confront the real question: who is she without the mother she lost, and the versions of herself she never became?
A deeply psychological, lyrically told novel about the invisible inheritance between mothers and daughters, and the quiet rebellion of becoming your own woman.
