Description

After ten years behind bars, a woman walks free—but freedom comes with its own sentence in this bold and unsparing novel by national bestselling author Kimberly Brown.

After serving a ten-year sentence for killing her mother’s boyfriend, Alayah Chambers is finally free—but freedom comes at a cost. Haunted by the abuse that landed her in prison and judged by a society that still sees her as a criminal, Alayah must piece together a new life in a world that isn’t quick to forgive. Determined to reclaim her future, she sets out to confront the ghosts of her past—including the woman who failed her the most: her own mother.

Killian Lake, a successful attorney and Alayah’s childhood friend, never forgot her—or the signs he missed back then. When a colleague offers him the chance to help overturn Alayah’s conviction, he doesn’t hesitate. Reunited after years apart, the chemistry between them simmers beneath the surface. And while Alayah keeps her heart guarded, Killian’s steady support begins to chip away at her defenses.

As buried secrets emerge and old wounds resurface, Alayah must choose: Will she let her past define her future or embrace the love and justice she’s always deserved? With Killian by her side, healing is within reach—but only if she’s willing to claim it.
After ten years behind bars, a woman walks free—but freedom comes with its own sentence in this bold and unsparing novel by national bestselling author Kimberly Brown.

I just finished reading Where Secrets Find Solace and this is my Number one top book for the year! The way that I am sitting here in my emotions, whew, I may or may not be in tears right now. It was a heavy read but it was a healing read for me personally. The topic that was written about was needed. The main female character had my heart from the very beginning. Layah was such a strong woman. Killian had my heart as well. The way he was there for Layah was so beautiful to see. I recommend everyone to read this book! Definitely a five star read!

Where Secrets Find Solace pulled me in from the very beginning and I wasn't ready for it to end after the first 3 chapters. I was disappointed because I wanted more of Alayah's story which I will be reading in full once it's released. I have a feeling that the full story will pull at every last one of my heartstrings and honestly, I'm looking forward to it hoping that everything will work out in the end for her because just after reading the first 3 chapters I know I want her to have the HEA she deserves.

Thanks to Netgalley, Black Odyssey Media and Kimberly Brown for the chance to read this snippet of Where Secrets Find Solace.

The first few chapters of Where Secrets Find Solace have officially got me hooked.
Kimberly has a very addictive writing style. I definitely want to read more of this engaging and devastating story.
I haven't read any books by Kimberly Brown before. I think this will be the first of many.

From what I've read so far, I think this novel will definitely be a five star read.
I'm really looking forward to reading the whole story.

OMG this sneak peek pulled me all the way in, and now I’m itching to see how everything unfolds. The story centers around Alayah, who is serving a 30-year sentence for killing her mom’s boyfriend a man who had been sexually assaulting her since she was 14. As the oldest daughter, she carried the responsibility of looking after her siblings while her mom worked constantly, and from what I’ve read so far, her mom was rude, neglectful, and downright cruel. It’s frustrating to see how she put her daughters in that situation. I cannot wait to read the full story, especially with that her childhood friend Killian has been introduced…and he’s a lawyer. I’m so curious about what happened to her mom and siblings, and if Alayah gets out, how they’ll treat her after everything that happened..This sneak peek did exactly what it needed to do because I’m ready for the rest of this book right now. This book is primarily women’s fictions with some elements of romance as noted in the book so I’m not going to be expecting Insta love or anything like that but definitely I want to see how Alayah as a character grows and if she allows herself to be loved by Killian, and if he he’s even the love interest for her.
