Nov 8, 2026


A novel of family secrets,betrayal, and the truths that echo through generations.


Towson, Maryland Nov 7, 2026 (Issuewire.com) - Set in Jamaica and the Baltimore area, the psychological thriller follows Keisha Kingston, a Jamaican-born attorney whose seemingly secure life is shaken by revelations about her family's past. The novel explores how concealed truths can harm children, grandchildren, and generations who had no part in creating them.

Through themes of betrayal, identity, family loyalty, grief, and generational trauma, Duran asks: What happens when the truth a family has buried for years finally comes to light?

About the Author

Born in Allman Town, Kingston, Jamaica, Duran came to the United States at about age 21 and lived in the Bronx and Queens before making Maryland her home.

She spent more than 20 years in human resources leadership roles across Maryland state and Baltimore City government, including positions at Morgan State University, Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services (DPSCS), and the Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH). She also owned an immigration consulting business in Baltimore for more than five years. These experiences deepened her interest in the stories people carry and how family histories shape their lives.
