Where can a Black girl go when the world says she's nothing-and God says she's destined for more?
In Imprinted, debut author Rose M. Booker-Jones shares a searing and spiritually uplifting memoir of her life as an orphaned Black girl in Kansas, raised by her grandmother and shadowed by secrets, racism, and loss. Marked for hardship but held by divine grace, her story unearths the pain of being overlooked and underestimated, and the sacred strength that comes when you realize God has His hand pressed firmly on your life.
From haunting childhood dreams and bullying to generational silence, betrayal, and racial injustice, Rose's journey is one of survival, faith, and awakening. She wrestles with grief, navigates identity, and reflects deeply on her African American heritage-all while discovering that what felt like abandonment was actually divine imprinting. Through God's presence, she transforms trauma into testimony.
This Christian memoir is a powerful testament to spiritual healing, divine purpose, and the resilience of the human spirit. It speaks to those who've asked, Am I alone? Am I loved? and affirms, You are never forgotten. You are imprinted.
If you are drawn to stories of faith and resilience, African American memoirs, or books about overcoming adversity through God's love, Imprinted will move your soul.
Read Imprinted and discover the strength that comes from being marked by God.
