Publisher's 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.

Awesome

Miss Steel at her finest.
Unpredictable.
Every character is strong and has an important part of the storyline.
Pulls out every emotion. Very well done, worth a second listen.

The story was very enjoyable. The plot was unique and the characters were very plausible.

The Right Time delivers

I loved this book. Great story line. The narrator was very good. I would have liked to read an Alexander Green book.

Loved it

Absolutely loved this. Great story that kept me hooked. Couldn't wait to find out what happened next.

story evolved perfectly

I used to read all of Danielle steel's books the minute they came out. and as my life got busier years ago I got away from reading and then I began to lose my eyesight, so I have switched to audible and I'm enjoying books again many books. I belong to three different book clubs and just can't seem to get enough so when I am very far ahead of my reading for what has been chosen for us I like to read books of authors that I used to immensely enjoy. they're lighter and easier, and not real heavy subjects that a lot of book clubs choose. I really enjoyed this one. the right time could be right now

Development of the story

The ups and downs, true life resemblance or tragedy and triumph and the will to carry on.

Great Story But…

Great story but the performance by the narrator was less desirable. I didn't like the long pause between chapters. It was long that I kept checking if my iPhone had malfunctioned.

Absolutely heartfelt!

This book grabbed me from the beginning. I felt as if I went through life with Alex. From childhood, young adulthood, and onto adulthood. Experiencing her griefs, struggles, adventures, and successes. I was sad to see the story end. I wanted more!
