her big brothers

Emma thought she understood rules. She'd lived under the Harts' roof, after all-learned what it meant to be held accountable, to live with boundaries. But nothing prepared her for life as the wife of David Williams. David is not just a husband-he's a leader, a head of household in every sense of the word. Raised in a world where scripture shapes every decision and discipline is seen as love in action, David's standards are uncompromising, his expectations clear, and his consequences unwavering. For Emma, marriage meant leaving behind the familiar- the guidance of the Harts-and stepping into a role she doesn't quite know how to fill. As she stumbles through the early days of being a wife, she's met not with indulgence, but with firm correction, consistent structure, and a deep, unyielding love that holds her to a higher standard than she's ever known. This isn't just about learning to be a wife. It's about surrender, obedience, and what it truly means to submit-not out of fear, but out of faith. For Emma, growing up was just the beginning. Now, it's time to grow into the woman David-and God-expects her to be.
