NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • 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 … 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.

Outstanding! Many friends have read it..all loved it!
Another entertaining Danielle Steele book but one with a bit of a twist.
I enjoy all of Danielle Steeles books.
A tale of empowerment with a dash of romance. I’ll admit that contemporary novels aren’t my usual go-to read. But there was something about this book that pulled me in from the start. We meet Alexandra Winslow as a young girl and we get a glimpse into a tumultuous life as she grows up. Is this the book for you? That depends on if you like a casual read that takes the reader on a roller coaster of feels that may or may not pan out with a happy ending. You see, the ending is dependent on how each reader perceives the overall outcome of Alexander’s life. I think it’s worth picking up. The characters are realistic and the story is vibrant.
One of DS better books. Enjoyed reading it.
