Lauren Linley was young when she lost her father and even younger when she lost her mother. While Lauren was not entirely alone and still had her older brother, Jacob, and her dear friend and mentor, Eleanor, she couldn't help but feel the deep loss of her parent's deaths. With Jacob and Eleanor tasked with the raising of Lauren and with the job of keeping the Linley legacy a secret, they can't help but to slip up from time to time.
With all of the freedom Lauren has had over the course of her life you'd certainly think she'd be more "wild" or more childish than she is, but she has managed to develop an adult attitude towards any situation that has been thrown at her. As Lauren continues to grow physically and mentally she has been unable to fill the hole that her parents left when they passed. Will Lauren meet someone who can fill the void she's felt for so long or is she destined to be alone forever? Or perhaps she will be tasked with something that will consume her for the rest of her days.
Is Lauren really who she thinks she is or has her whole upbringing been a lie? Only time will tell and one thing everyone knows for sure is that Lauren has never been a fan of time.

Since this is my first, complete, book attempt, I ask you to please refrain from any mean or rude comments, however constructive criticism is welcome!
I hope you enjoy my book and perhaps begin to question time as much as Lauren Linley has.
