well, I don't know if this is in the book, but at one point she said that divorce is a sin...then 15 minutes later she was like, her divorce wasn't a sin because her husband left her. She said other things, but that was the one that really stood out. She just seemed to give off this "holier than thou" attitude.

I don't know Sister Juanita's situation, but 1Corinthians 7:12-15 reads:
12 But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.
13 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.
Basically it says that if a woman (or man) is a believer and her spouse is not, then she/he should stay with that person. If, however, the unbelieving spouse chooses to leave, the believer should not do anything to make them stay and the believer is not under bondage or obligation to the marriage.
This may have been her situation and why it seemed to be a contradiction to you.
