“Why Doesn’t He Love Me” by Andrea Renee

Kimberly always dreamed of being loved deeply—but dreams can quickly twist into nightmares. From childhood trauma and colorism to toxic family ties, Kimberly’s search for love leads her into the arms of Charlie—a man whose smooth words and grand gestures hide a dark and dangerous soul.
Married into what should’ve been a fairy tale, Kimberly finds herself shackled to a master manipulator—Charlie, a so-called pastor whose double life includes a secret family, criminal activity, and a deep disdain for the very woman he vowed to love. As emotional abuse, gaslighting, and physical violence become routine, Kimberly questions everything: her worth, her womanhood, and her will to survive.
Torn between trauma and healing, the pull of the past and the power of her future, Kimberly must confront generational curses, face the haunting truth about her marriage, and reclaim the love that matters most—self-love.
Told through raw emotion, blistering honesty, and unforgettable characters, Why Doesn’t He Love Me is a gripping tale of betrayal, sisterhood, survival, and the messy path to healing.
Perfect for fans of Zane, Terry McMillan, and Sister Souljah, this story will have you rooting for Kimberly to break free and finally ask the question that could save her life—not "Why doesn’t he love me?" but "Why don’t I love myself enough to leave?"
