Foreign Marriage - Paperback

by Alotha Jené Mayes (Author)

"Jesus said to her, 'Go, call your husband, and come here.' The woman answered and said, 'I have no husband.' Jesus said to her, 'You have well said, "I have no husband," for you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband; in that you spoke truly.'"

-John 4:16-18 NKJV

The Bible doesn't tell us how she ended up with six husbands, and we will never know the full story, but this is my story, and how I ended up at the well. Born into rejection, shaped by hardship, and searching for love in all the wrong places, I spent years believing I was unworthy. My story is not just about survival, it's about redemption.

Foreign Marriage: A Modern Day Saga of the Woman at the Well is a deeply personal memoir for anyone who has ever felt unwanted, unloved, or unseen. From childhood wounds to broken relationships, I reveal how God's love reached into the darkest corners of my life, showing that no pain is wasted, no past is too broken, and no one is beyond His grace.

This book is for the ones who grew up abused, overlooked, or searching for love in the wrong places. It is for every heart that needs to be reminded: you were already loved, because God loved you first, and there is hope for true love and meaningful relationships when He is at the center.

If you've ever questioned your worth, your purpose, or your place in this world, this is your story too.
