DISCOVER A WORLD OF KNOWLEDGE

What if the most important marriage you’ll ever have is the one with yourself?

On the morning of her thirtieth wedding anniversary, Ade Ogunyomade was struck by a thought as bold as it was unsettling: Why don’t you marry yourself?

What followed was a reckoning — with the dreams she had shelved, the worth she had outsourced, and the woman she had quietly misplaced along the way.

A retired ophthalmologist, mother, and woman of faith, Ade had spent decades pouring into others. This book is the story of what happened when she finally turned that devotion inward.

But this is no gentle awakening.

With unflinching honesty, Ade writes about the experiences that brought her to her knees — and slowly, fiercely, back to herself. From grief and depression to financial ruin and rebuilding, from the complexities of motherhood to the quiet erosion of identity, this is a memoir forged in real life, not theory.

Using the traditional marriage vows as her framework, To Have and To Hold moves through eight promises we were never taught to make to ourselves. Each chapter weaves lived experience with reflective pauses, practical wisdom, and a personal vow for you to sign and make your own.

This is not a self-help manual with seven steps to perfection. It is a hand to hold.

Honest, lyrical, and deeply moving, this book is for any woman who has ever been told she is too much — or not enough — and is ready to reclaim her worth, her voice, and her purpose.
