Tomorrow It Could Be You

When your father is jailed and your city tears itself apart, do you stay silent or stand up for what is right?

Barcelona 2017. Sixteen-year-old Laia's world fractures when her father is imprisoned in Barcelona for a peaceful protest. As the city's famous streets erupt with demonstrations and brutal police crackdowns, she must find her voice — or lose everything she loves.

Encouraged by her classmate Sonia, she steps into a youth movement and meets Xavi — a fearless activist who challenges her, inspires her, and awakens feelings she has never known before. As protests swell and tensions rise, Laia uncovers a hidden family secret from the Spanish Civil War, linking past and present in ways she never expected.

With harsh sentences falling on Catalan leaders and her city transformed beyond recognition, Laia faces a choice: speak out, or risk everything for what she believes in.

Written against a backdrop of history that has not been told in fiction before.
