Redemption

In the heart of darkness, a flicker of hope still burns.

Zakiya Walker was once a church girl—full of promise, faith, and dreams for the future. But after one fateful decision, her life spirals into the depths of addiction, exploitation, and despair. Stripped of her name and identity, she becomes “Red,” a hardened house mother trapped in the very system that once destroyed her. For ten long years, she forgets who she was... until a ghost from her past reignites a flame she thought was long dead.

Redemption is a gripping, soul-shaking journey through trauma, survival, and the unrelenting love of God. Told with poetic depth and raw honesty, this emotionally charged novel follows Zakiya’s transformation from victim to abuser, from broken to restored, from forgotten to chosen.

When a divine encounter interrupts the cycle of pain, Zakiya must confront her past, forgive the unforgivable, and believe—against all odds—that she is still worthy of grace. Along the way, she discovers that even the darkest story can become a testimony when placed in the hands of a Redeemer.

For anyone who has ever felt too far gone, too broken to be loved, or too damaged to dream again—this is your reminder:

You are not forgotten. You are not disqualified. And it’s never too late to come home.
