Before I Knew Your Name

Amber Marchell

She loved God. She believed in love. But somewhere between marriage, heartbreak, and waiting, she realized she had been trusting herself more than Him. Before I Knew Your Name is a soul-stirring journey of faith, healing, and surrender told through the eyes of a woman who had to lose what she thought she wanted in order to receive what God had already prepared.

After divorce and repeated disappointment, Meadow finds herself in a season of silence-one where God begins to strip away fear, control, and the need to be chosen. What follows is not just a love story, but a transformation. A journey through waiting, discernment, and obedience that leads her to a love rooted in prayer, peace, and divine timing. This is a story about Black love guided by faith. About healing before holding.
