Part 1 "The beginnings are the best part"

Losing Time is a coming-of-age novel that follows Reagan from age five to twenty-two, tracing the winding, often confusing road from childhood innocence to early adulthood. Set against the backdrop of Michigan and the ever-changing world around her, Reagan's story captures the universal trials of growing up-moments of joy and heartbreak, discovery and doubt.

At five, Reagan meets her best friends Nicky and Harrison, discovering the feeling of acceptance for the first time. But as the years unfold, life begins to ask more difficult questions. Through the heartbreak of losing childhood friendships, the sting of betrayal, and the slow unraveling of naivety, Reagan learns that not all goodbyes come with closure.

Through middle school and high school, Reagan loses the person she used to be. With new friendships and first relationships, she's constantly searching for the simple feeling of belonging that she once held with Harrison and Nicky. After not talking to either of them for years, she still finds herself thinking of them often.

As Reagan enters college, she faces even deeper challenges-forcing connections, distance from her family, and the heart-wrenching death of someone she thought would always be there. But in the quiet spaces between the chaos, she also finds herself-finally searching for who she wants to be, through unexpected friendships, and discovering a love that's always been in the background, Reagan learns what really matters in life.

Raw, and deeply human, Losing Time is a story of growth-an emotional portrait of adolescence and all the beautiful, brutal moments that shape us. For anyone who has ever lost, loved, or wondered who they are becoming, I hope you see parts of yourself in this story, and a reminder that we are never truly alone on the journey.
