The moment has finally come! I’m beyond excited to share the official cover for my upcoming novel, Rejected, releasing Black Friday 2025.
📖 A reimagining of Hagar’s story. Set against the harsh realities of sex trafficking in Mexico.
About the Story
Rejected is inspired by one of the most overlooked women in the Bible — Hagar. Cast out, abandoned, and forced to survive on her own, Hagar’s story in Genesis resonates deeply with women today who are still fighting to be seen.
In this modern retelling, Rejected follows a young woman caught in the brutal world of sex trafficking in Mexico, where faith becomes her only light. It’s a story of pain and survival but also of courage, resilience, and the God who never looks away.
This book was written to give voice to those the world often forgets, and to remind us that every story, no matter how broken, can still find redemption.
Why This Cover Matters
The cover of Rejected captures the tension between desolation and hope. Helena (Hagar) and Ignacio (Ishmael) walk across cracked earth, backpacks on, moving toward a distant horizon where sunlight breaks through heavy clouds. Behind them stand simple wooden crosses; ahead, a single tree rises strong against the fading light.
Every element is symbolic. The barren landscape reflects the emptiness of rejection, the feeling of being cast out and forgotten. Helena and Ignacio represent survival and the relentless human spirit. And that lone tree? It’s a promise of life after loss, a sign that even in the driest soil, something living can still take root.
The light spilling across the horizon reminds us that redemption is never too far away. It is Hagar’s story retold in modern form: a journey through hardship, guided by faith, toward the God who still sees.
Coming Black Friday 2025
Mark your calendars: Rejected releases November 28, 2025 (Black Friday).
