Having It All Wins a Literary Titan Book Award

I’m thrilled to share some wonderful news: Having It All has been honored with a Literary Titan Book Award. Receiving this recognition is both humbling and deeply meaningful, especially for a story that was written straight from the heart.

When I first sat down to write Having It All, I wanted to explore a question so many women silently wrestle with: Is it really possible to have everything without losing yourself in the process? The novel follows Dalia Roberts, a driven Wall Street professional in the late 1990s who appears to have the perfect life—career success, a beautiful home, a loving marriage, and two children. But beneath that polished surface is exhaustion, pressure, and the relentless strain of trying to keep all the plates spinning at once.

This award tells me that Dalia’s story resonated—and that matters more to me than I can easily put into words.

Having It All is not just a story about ambition or success. It’s about burnout, financial stress, family obligations, and the quiet emotional toll that comes with always being “the strong one.” It’s about what happens when life throws one crisis after another at someone who is already stretched thin—and the desperate choices that can follow when there seems to be no good option left.

The Literary Titan Book Award recognizes books that demonstrate exceptional storytelling, originality, and emotional impact. To know that this novel was recognized for those qualities validates the risk I took in telling a very real, very human story—one that doesn’t offer easy answers or fairy-tale solutions, but instead reflects the complicated realities many working women face every day.

I’ve heard from readers who saw themselves in Dalia’s struggles: women balancing careers and families, couples navigating financial pressure, and anyone who has ever wondered if they were giving too much of themselves just to keep everything from falling apart. That connection is the greatest reward an author can receive, and this award amplifies that experience.

If you haven’t read Having It All yet, this recognition makes now the perfect time to discover it. If you have read it, thank you for being part of its journey. Your support—through reviews, messages, and word-of-mouth recommendations—helps stories like this reach the readers who need them most.

Winning the Literary Titan Book Award is a milestone I’ll always be grateful for. More than anything, it reminds me why I write: to tell honest stories, to spark reflection, and to let readers know they’re not alone.

Thank you for celebrating this moment with me.
