The Books
A family torn between faith and freedom, hope and Armageddon—where every choice could mean salvation or ruin...
In Kings of Armageddon, Jacqueline Coleman weaves a gripping tale of faith, family, and the fight for identity in a world on the brink of change.
Set against the backdrop of the civil rights movement and the fervor of a religion predicting the end of the world by 1975, the novel follows Gloria King, a Black woman grappling with an impossible choice: Should she abandon her dreams of a brighter future for her children, or embrace the religion her husband fervently believes will save them all?
This unforgettable story explores the cost of belief, the power of resilience, and the enduring search for truth in a world divided by race, religion, and hope.

A journey from belief to self-discovery—where the promise of forever collides with the courage to think for oneself.
In To Be Immortal, Jacqueline Coleman delivers a poignant and deeply personal memoir about growing up as a Jehovah’s Witness during the tumultuous 1960s and ’70s, when the promise of Armageddon loomed large and eternal life seemed within reach.
With unflinching honesty and warmth, Jacqueline recounts her journey from a childhood shaped by rigid beliefs to her courageous decision to leave the faith and forge her own path.
This is a story of resilience, transformation, and the power of self-awareness—a testament to the strength it takes to question what you’ve been taught and find your own truth. To Be Immortal is not just a memoir; it’s an invitation to reflect on the beliefs that shape us and the courage it takes to redefine them.
This deeply personal memoir is currently in development. Join the Reflections Newsletter below to get exclusive updates on the writing journey, and be the first to know when To Be Immortal launches.

My work is an invitation to explore the complex landscapes of human experience, challenging you to see beyond the stories you've been told and discover the profound truths that connect us all. Through my novel and memoir, I hope to take you on a journey of deep understanding, revealing the hidden dimensions of race, identity, and personal transformation.
