About the Book

Lamentations of a Black Woman Physician follows one woman's path through a fifteen-year marriage that quietly became a place of loneliness, through the confusing hope and disappointment of the relationships that came after, and into a faith that refused to let her stay broken. Told through scripture, prayer, and unguarded memory, this memoir sits with grief long enough to be honest about it, then moves forward into the harder, more hopeful work of waiting on God rather than settling for whoever shows up next. It is a book for any woman who has had to rebuild her sense of worth from the ground up.
