The Chosen One

Micah “Quis” Kenner was born chosen.

Raised to inherit one of the most powerful mega churches in the DMV, his life was mapped out long before he ever had a say. The marriage was arranged. The future was promised. Faith, family, and legacy left little room for desire—or doubt.

Kim Kenner did everything she was taught to do.

As the wife of a rising pastor, she carried the image, absorbed the betrayals, and remained faithful to a life that demanded her silence. But when Quis’s past resurfaces in the form of a child born from an affair—and the child moves into their home—the carefully managed world they built begins to fracture.

As Quis searches for peace beyond obligation and Kim confronts the cost of always being chosen last, their marriage is forced into a reckoning neither of them can escape. Therapy sessions unravel long-buried truths. Public devotion collides with private resentment. And faith becomes a question rather than a shield.

Set inside a powerful church community where image is currency and endurance is praised as righteousness, The Chosen One is a raw, emotionally layered novel about marriage, power, and identity—and the quiet moment when obedience stops feeling like devotion.

This is not a story about easy forgiveness or clean endings.
It’s about who we become when the roles we were given no longer fit.

A compelling, character-driven women’s fiction novel exploring love, accountability, and the cost of becoming who you were never allowed to be.
