By the Time We’re Forty

Reagan Pierce has everything—an irresistible boyfriend, a tight-knit family, and a future that feels almost too perfect. But when her mother, Genevieve, is critically injured in a car accident and slips into a coma, Reagan’s world begins to crumble.

Then comes the message. The one she wasn’t meant to see. Brief. Unfamiliar. Easy to dismiss . . . until more are received. Reagan tries to brush them off, but something doesn’t sit right.

Then there’s a phone call. A stranger’s voice. A name she’s never heard. And a growing sense that her mother was keeping something from them all.

Determined to protect her family from the fallout, Reagan begins to uncover secrets that threaten to shatter everything she thought she knew about her parents’ marriage.

Infidelity. Betrayal. A love story she never saw coming.

If only her mother would wake up and explain the truth behind the lies.

By the Time We’re Forty is a haunting, multi-generational story of love, loyalty, and the secrets that shape us. Told with emotional depth and quiet urgency, it explores what happens when the truth surfaces and the quiet ways love endures even when it’s tested.
