Not Divine

Based on true events, this is not an ordinary story.

On the surface, Aria Farrington inhabits a world of trans-Atlantic privilege and polished appearances. Yet behind the closed doors of her family's Washington, DC home, her father's manipulative and covert abuse erodes the very foundation of the identity he claims to uphold. What unfolds is a stark portrait of how a father's presence-and his failings-can shape, fracture, and scar a person's life.

Even more tangled is her friendship with Cinthy-her so-called "best friend"-a relationship that veers into treacherous territory, laying bare the unsettling truths of female intimacy and betrayal.

Aria walks a tightrope between the glittering editorial offices of elite magazines and the dark underbelly of street crime. When an esteemed gentleman sweeps into her and Cinthy's lives, he appears to offer guidance but instead leaves devastation in his wake, shattering bonds and exposing hidden fractures.

Through it all, Aria clings to her inner voice and evolving philosophical reflections on life and the afterlife. With humour as her defense, music as her sanctuary, and love as her compass, she carves a path through a life that rarely delivers on its promises and is only, on rare occasions, Divine.

This is a story of resilience and reckoning, of beauty entwined with brutality, and of truth told without disguise. It is not just another tale-it is an unflinching exploration of the human spirit.
