Everyone wants a marriage like Dream's. Then her husband locks his bedroom door. To the women who fill her conferences, Dream Daniels has everything: unwavering faith, a beautiful life, and a husband who adores her. Behind closed doors, she and Maurice sleep separately and negotiate how much affection their next appearance requires. Dream calls it privacy. An old recording is about to give it another name. When her followers hear what she really thinks of them, admiration turns to outrage. Women who trusted her advice demand answers. Others simply want to watch the Sweet Wife fall. Then Naomi Price-the girl Dream failed when protecting her position mattered more than asking questions-refuses to let another polished apology bury the truth. With her reputation crumbling and her income disappearing, Dream faces a commandment she can no longer dress up for an audience: "Thou shalt have no other gods before me." What does doing right require when nobody promises to forgive you? And beneath the wreckage of their public love story, can Dream and Maurice find a love worth choosing in private? THE SWEET WIFE: DREAM is the first novella in Andrea D. Tumblin's ten-book series exploring the Ten Commandments through contemporary women's lives. A story of faith, exposed secrets, accountability, and a tender second chance at marriage. She may never be everyone's Sweet Wife again. Can she become a woman whose life she no longer has to hide? Or will she finally observe the scripture she has allowed herself to ignore... "Thou shalt have no other gods before me." Exodus 20:3 KJV

To give her hope was my passion. Until I met her. Until I experienced her love, her joy, and the strange divinity that lived within her soul. My name is Jehovah Jireh Jerah. I am God. And I am Aniyah Young's husband. For eternity, I believed nothing could challenge my place as Creator. No realm, no kingdom, no god, no force beyond the heavens. Then I met my wife. And suddenly, the role of God became more complicated than I had ever imagined. Because Aniyah is not merely a woman within my creation. She is something far older. A soul scattered across countless lives, kingdoms, goddesses, and forgotten worlds-a living vessel carrying mysteries even I have spent eternity trying to understand. So I will create something with her. A world beyond the boundaries of Heaven. A world where love can exist without war, where our souls can finally rest, and where the impossible can become real. I will create her dawn... until finally- we gain time alone. But there is one secret hidden beneath every realm, every goddess, every lifetime, and every soul tie: Aniyah was never merely part of my creation. She was the one I had been searching for all along.

This is the story of the caretaker.

Alma has never questioned The Sanctuary. Beyond the pine forests lies the Noise, a corrupt and violent world abandoned by the faithful decades ago. Inside the compound, life is orderly. Silent. Pure. Every morning begins with prayer, every choice belongs to the elders, and every girl is taught the same truth: Obedience is love. Raised within the rigid teachings of Father Vale and the Church of the Holy Silence, Alma has spent her life preparing to become the kind of woman the Sanctuary demands, quiet, devout, unseen. But when her closest friend disappears without explanation and whispers of hidden truths begin surfacing beneath the compound's careful rituals, Alma starts to notice the cracks in the world she was taught to fear leaving. Jonah has noticed them for years. Assigned to maintain the Sanctuary's generators and forbidden technology, Jonah has seen enough hypocrisy to know the cult's holiness is built on lies. He's spent years surviving in silence after his brother vanished for asking too many questions. But the closer Alma gets to the truth, the more dangerous they both become. As Father Vale tightens his grip and an arranged marriage threatens to seal Alma's future forever, Alma and Jonah are forced to confront the terrifying possibility that escape may be their only chance at freedom. But leaving The Sanctuary is only the beginning. Because the outside world is louder, crueler, and far more overwhelming than Alma ever imagined, and some forms of conditioning do not end at the gates. *Cult of Silence* is a haunting psychological thriller about control, faith, survival, and what it truly means to choose your own life.

"Have you ever had a beer?" I blink at him. He's waiting for my reply, his eyebrows low and curious. I shift my gaze around the lift, almost like I'd find somebody else he must've been talking to. A breathless chuckle leaves me, "Uh," I shake my head, "Not really, no." He hums, clearly still in thought about it. He folds his arms, "You ever wanted to?" I swallow, mildly startled. Is he offering? I shrug, and I feel my shoulders shake a bit as I do. My heart felt unsteady and so did the eye contact I was trying to bravely maintain. He shifts around on his feet, and he's looking at me like I'm the one that's peculiar, "Right." I might have shrugged another time, "I don't think about it."

Baeu Swan moved to Forks for one reason: peace and quiet. At sixteen, he's tired of constantly moving because of his stepfather's sports career. Living with his father, the town's police chief, seems like the perfect way to finally settle down. Then he meets Edythe Cullen. She's beautiful, strange, impossibly fast, and definitely not human. Soon Baeu discovers that vampires and werewolves are real, and that Forks has considerably more going on beneath its rainy exterior than he ever wanted to know. But unlike some people, Baeu has common sense. When told to stay away, he stays away. When faced with something potentially dangerous, he prepares. A cross around his neck, holy water in glass bottles, wooden stakes, and a double-barrel shotgun loaded with silver slugs might seem excessive. Baeu considers it basic preparedness. Unfortunately, surviving the supernatural isn't quite that simple. Not every vampire is a monster, not every werewolf is an enemy, and sometimes the giant wolf trying to kill you is actually someone you know. As Baeu navigates first love, ancient vampires, werewolves, faith, family, and the occasional catastrophic misunderstanding, he learns that growing up isn't about having all the answers. It's about learning when to fight, when to trust, when to forgive... and when to keep the shotgun loaded.

Open Letter From The Author Himself

"Darkness doesn't always hide. Sometimes, it blinds." *** Emmanuella Orinomwen Ignenedion. Meticulous. Pristine. Disciplined. Clean. A wonderful assistant pastor to my father's mega-church. That is the script I feed to the world. To my parents, I am the perfect, submissive daughter. But that is only what they are permitted to see. They have never heard the screams silenced by the fire. Or the nightmares' golden promise of unyielding terror. For a long time, I preferred it that way. I buried my survival inside a tight-knit bubble of schedules. Out of sight, out of mind. But my clockwork existence shattered the moment Mary forced her way into my orbit. Unpredictable. Uninvited. An eye that saw what no one else had seen. And she made me see too. Darkness. Gross darkness that fueled my father's church. A rotting ledger of hidden cash, stolen lives, and an ancient malice hiding right beneath our pristine marble floors. With her, I realized: Words can be as thick as knives. Smiles as thin as paper. And blood can ripple as cold as deep water. Holiness or piety is not by mere words or appearance. Because I know, now better than anyone, that anything can be faked. As even the devil masquerades as an angel of light. I spent my life blind to the abyss in my own home. This is the story of how I stopped pretending. Note: mentions of some triggering content in this book
