When The Points Ran Out

When the Points Ran Out is a deeply emotional, mature love story about betrayal, accountability, and the kind of love that can only survive after it has been stripped of illusion.

For three years, Alora Caldwell documented the slow erosion of her marriage in a black journal-assigning point each time her husband chose another woman over her. When the score reached zero, she promised herself she would leave.

The final point vanished the night Alora nearly died in a car accident while pregnant with the child she and her husband had prayed for-when Russel Caldwell, a renowned surgeon, chose his former love over saving her life.

Left grieving, hollowed, and alive despite everything, Alora walks away without confrontation and rebuilds herself far from the man who failed her. But love, once planted deeply, is not so easily erased. When Russel finally understands the cost of his choices, he fights-quietly relentlessly, humbly-to earn back the woman he broke.

Told entirely through Alora's voice, this is a story of love reclaimed through accountability, of grief transformed into grace, and of a woman who learns that being chosen should never require bleeding first.
