Description
Some Things Are Inherited.
Some Things Are Chosen.
Kazia Johnson has spent most of her life learning how to live with absence. A blank space where her father's name should be. A birth mother who became more rumor than mother. A family whose love was never as quiet as she needed it to be.
When one unexpected test turns probability into responsibility, Kaz finds herself caught between the life she planned and the life she promised would never be hers.
While Brayton Moussa, her fiancé, is sure of her place in his future, Kaz rejects the future she has inherited and is forced to face the questions she has spent years avoiding.
Tender, messy, romantic, and painfully human, Some Things Are Yours is a story about first love becoming forever love, about motherhood before readiness, about unfinished childhood, and about the kind of love that asks you not to be perfect—only honest.

SOME THINGS ARE YOURS
Trudy-Ann Smith
is a writer of contemporary fiction who believes in the quiet power of human connection, unresolved questions, and the beauty of becoming. Her debut novel explores the messiness of identity, family, and first love—things she’s been trying to figure out herself, one chapter at a time.
When she’s not writing, Trudy-Ann can usually be found re-watching her favourite movies (the kind where someone runs through an airport or dramatically yells “wait!”), eavesdropping in cafés under the guise of working, or searching for meaning in unexpected places.
She studied Architecture at university, which technically qualifies her to design buildings but mostly taught her how to pull all-nighters, survive on tea and hope, and sketch things that only occasionally make structural sense. It was somewhere between 2 a.m. Pinterest rabbit holes and napkin doodles that she started turning fragments of late-night thoughts into full-length stories. Architecture gave her a love of structure; fiction gave her the freedom to knock a few emotional walls down.
