the Wedding & Disaster of Felona Mabel

Felona Mabel has spent thirty-two years trying to love the reflection she never quite recognized. Labeled an accidental baby and shaped by a mother whose disapproval shadowed every milestone, she has fought her way into an award-winning reporting career and a long-awaited wedding in Admah City. Her future finally feels steady.

Two weeks before she is set to walk down the aisle, a phone call unravels it all. Her estranged mother is in a terminal coma, and Felona must return to Nathaniel, the hometown she fled, for the goodbye she believes she needs before she can say “I do.” What she finds instead is a past that refuses to stay buried. Old wounds reopen. Buried secrets rise. And the childhood friend who once felt like her hero steps back into her life at the exact moment everything begins to shift.

As the truth she buried resurfaces and threatens her happily-ever-after, Felona must confront the life she tried to outrun and decide whether she can build the future she has always wanted. Before she can be wed to hope, she must first resolve the disaster that has become her life.

A story of identity, inheritance, and the courage it takes to accept yourself, The Wedding & Disaster of Felona Mabel invites readers into the quiet wreckage of a woman learning to rise.
