I Divorced My Family: Aji’s Journey: A Spiritual And Mental Wellness Story (Amazon)

At 2:17 in the morning, her mother sent four words: God doesn’t like ugly.

It was the forty-third message Aji Ellis had received that night. It was also the last one she ever opened.

For thirty years, Aji was the one—the vessel. The daughter who paid the funeral bills, covered the rent, hosted the holidays, and kept the family’s secrets pressed and starched like Sunday clothes. Then her seven-year-old son told her something that changed everything, and her father, the pastor, told her to handle it in the family.

She didn’t.

I Divorced My Family is the story of what happens when the strong one stops. When the prayer chain becomes a weapon. When the church you were raised in preaches you into sermon,on you never agreed to. And when a woman finally discovers that the family she was born to and the family she was made for are not always the same people.

Part novel, part mirror, with journal prompts to walk your own road.

You were not chosen because you were strong. You were assigned because you were willing.
