SOULGASM

When their eyes met for the first time, every fantasy she had about him was standing right in front of her. The knowing deep within, the yearning inside, the magnetic pull. She knew. She didn’t understand what she knew, but she knew. He knew, too. He knew what she felt without words being spoken. The passion between them was intense and the hunger & thirst for one another grew nearly out of control….and then it happened…

You STILL Talk Too Much

From the bestselling book, You Talk Too Much: A Wife’s Guide to Becoming a Silent Warrior, Tanya Denise DeFreitas is back with You STILL Talk Too Much: A Wife’s Guide to Stand as a Silent Warrior!

WOUNDED WIFE

A Devotional for the Hurting Married Woman

What do you do when the one person who vowed to love, cherish, and honor you, hurts you instead? How do you forgive? How do move on? Most of us do not count the cost of “for better or worse,” at the altar, and when worse becomes reality, then what?

Wounded Wife is a devotional for married women who are hurting and divorced women who are still healing. The injuries that are revealed, exposed, and expressed, in this book, are real experiences of wives who were afflicted by their husbands.

Lies. Deception. Abuse. Adultery. Addiction. Pornography. Secret lifestyles. Abandonment. Neglect. And more. The wounds penetrate deeply, but there is a remedy to soothe and heal the wounded heart in this book.
