The Breaking Point

Your book is about Tasha, a resilient mother of three who finds herself at a painful crossroads: stay with her unfaithful, jobless, and emotionally abusive husband, Reggie, or risk becoming a struggling single mother. Reggie is not the biological father of her eldest child and constantly tears him down, while Tasha shoulders the entire household—working a full-time job, paying the bills, and providing for her kids.

Desperate to make ends meet, she starts participating in weight loss clinical trials and begins to fear she may be pregnant by Reggie again—just as she’s mentally, emotionally, and physically drained. The story dives deep into generational cycles: how Tasha’s mother, Janice, modeled the behavior of staying with a sorry man, and how Janice’s own mother (Nana) enabled that pattern.

Themes of trauma, inherited dysfunction, hidden abuse, survival, and womanhood are woven throughout. The story is raw and emotionally charged, showing Tasha on the verge of breaking as she begins to question everything she's ever tolerated—for the sake of love, children, and survival.
