All This Time by Tiffani Burnett-Velez

Syrian-American, Lydia Fadoul, has spent a year waiting for her fiance’ to return from war in Iraq, only to discover that he is broken by trauma and the devastating effects of PTSD. Just when he finally agrees to seek help, he takes his own life and leaves behind a story of murder, betrayal, and mystery. In her second, contemporary fiction novel since Budapest, Tiffani Burnett-Velez weaves a fast-paced literary tale about the rumors we believe and the prejudices we create in order to protect our hearts from the truth.

“All This Time…. what an amazing story- I was drawn in from the start and hated to put it down. Bold and full of risks- all of which pay off. A whirlwhind of emotion and action, all described in such beautiful detail I felt like I was inserted into the story. I felt so close to the characters I found myself missing them at story’s end. Rare to have that happen- I have read many, many books and only the best put me in that place- where I am part of the story. A delightful, brilliantly written thrill-ride- but not one that sacrifices quality writing.” T. Franz, Amazon Reviewer

ALL THIS TIME is available from Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

“All This Time” is a roller coaster ride of adventure and emotion. The detail with which the characters and scenes are described provide an intricate picture, almost movie-like.You’ll want to turn off your cell phone and find a comfortable spot to absorb the author’s rich storytelling style. I could not put this book down.” T. Jackson, Amazon Reviewer
