Of Scandals & Scriptures is a raw, hilarious, and heartbreakingly honest collection of poems tracing the journey of a Christian woman who backslid and performed for love until the stage collapsed. In several chaotic acts, we follow her as she binges Scandal unaware of her own unfolding one, grieves the loss of her aunt, clings to men who never chose her, would never choose her, and eventually confronts the cost of her performance.With biting wit and soft revelation, these poems explore performative love, female rage, slow healing, and the absurdity of being "the strong one." Through every betrayal, meltdown, and midnight money transfer, she learns to stop dancing for crumbs and begins listening for the quiet voice of God who loved her long before the stage.This is a collection for every woman who's ever done too much, stayed too long, or loved too hard-and finally decided to leave the theatre.Excerpt: October -He told her he loved someone else.So naturally, she took it as a challenge.Because no one outperforms her.Not grief.Not rejection.Not even HER.So she did what she does best-put on her prettiest smile, powdered her pain, and danced.But no one clapped.Not even him.And that's when she knew: maybe this wasn't a stage.Maybe it was a warning.......
