Blood Doesn’t Make You Family is a book about truth, betrayal, and finding home in the people who show up when it matters most. This book doesn’t shy away from the ugly. It holds it up to the light and dares it to flinch.

Through real events, raw letters, and hard-earned healing, Allen opens up about his personal journey — from being shut out and let down, to building a new kind of family with Marqueta, Harley, Pebbles, and Fendi.

It’s not about revenge. It’s about reclaiming your worth, no matter who failed you. It’s about drawing the line between love and loyalty — and choosing yourself when others won’t.

You don’t have to carry guilt that’s not yours. You don’t have to break just because they didn’t believe you. And you’re not alone.
