In the summer of 1992, the Anderson clan lost more than a son. They lost their future. Smuggled out of a massacre by the family's loyal maid, baby Kelvin Anderson grows up believing he is an ordinary man, far removed from the bloody empire he was born into. But when the woman who raised him is murdered, her final letter reveals a truth that changes everything. Kelvin isn't who he thought he was. Driven by grief and a desperate need for answers, he returns to Gold Coast and infiltrates the powerful Anderson clan-the very family he never knew. There, he earns the trust of his older brother, Julius, uncovers decades of betrayal, and finds himself caught between revenge, loyalty, and an unexpected chance at love. As long-buried secrets come to light and enemies emerge from within his own bloodline, Kelvin must decide whether to destroy the family that stole everything from him... ...or become the man who saves it. Some families inherit wealth. The Andersons inherited war. All Rights Reserved 2025 ©️ shytabby

## A FINAL REQUEST BEFORE SAYING GOODBYE ### An Emotional Story of Surrogacy, Sacrifice, Forbidden Love, Faith, and the Family Grief Created **KYLIN** I am no savior. I could not save my husband, our unborn child, or the family members who died while I sat behind the steering wheel. Yet somehow, I have become responsible for a dying woman's final dream. Ruthanne Yates did not ask me for money. She did not ask me to pray harder, cure her cancer, or promise that death would not come. She asked me to carry the children her body could no longer create-with my egg and her husband's sperm. And against every warning screaming inside me, I said yes. --- **RUTHANNE** Cancer has stolen my strength, my future, and every child I once carried beneath my heart. Now time is running out. I know what I am asking of Kylin is unimaginable. She would become the biological and birth mother of the babies my husband and I have prayed sixteen years to hold. But I am no longer afraid of what the church will call wrong. I am afraid of dying before hearing someone call Rhys *Daddy*. So I make one final request. Give us the children we were never allowed to keep. And when I am gone, do not let the family we created fall apart. --- **RHYS** I have spent years preaching faith to grieving people. Now my wife is dying, another woman is carrying my children, and the church I helped build believes the miracle growing before them is proof of adultery. They want Kylin gone. They want me removed from the pulpit. They want Ruthanne's final act of love buried beneath scandal. But the truth is more complicated-and more powerful-than any rumor. Three wounded people said yes to an impossible family. Two babies are coming. One woman is running out of time. And before Ruthanne takes her final breath, she will ask us for a promise that could bind our lives together long after hers ends. **A FINAL REQUEST BEFORE SAYING GOODBYE** is a deeply emotional, interracial family drama abo

'Home for the Holidays' takes an unexpected flip when Alicia has to spend the christmas break of her freshman year on college campus due to travel complications. Celebrating christmas by herself shouldn't be much of a big deal, but when it's on another freaking continent-- thousands of miles away from her family-- it's obvious Alicia will catch the 'Scrooge and Grinch' syndrome this season. Maybe if the long-haired girl with the extra chunky boots and goofy, lopsided smile decided to invite her over instead of roaming outside without a coat like a psychopath, she'd have a merry Christmas after all. But things like that take miracles, Alicia doesn't believe in those.

Why do her eyes hold emotions, which I can't really explain, when she looks at me? Why did I fall for someone like her? Why her of all people? Out of all the people here, it had to be Mae Williams.
