Thorn: When Pressure Breaks the Silence

By Deborah T. Taiwo

Anita never expected her past to return, especially not with confidence, entitlement, and a hidden agreement powerful enough to shake everything she thought she knew.
What begins as excitement slowly reveals manipulation, emotional pressure, and a battle she never prepared for. As family expectations tighten and old wounds resurface, Anita is forced to choose between what feels familiar and what God is quietly preparing.
But THORN is not just a story about love.
It is a story about waiting when pressure screams, choosing obedience when fear whispers, and trusting God's timing when everything says "settle."
This novella offers a deeper, more intimate experience, pulling readers into Anita's thoughts, prayers, and silent wrestlings in ways only prose can.
Tender, honest, and faith-anchored, THORN explores:
- Christian dating and marriage pressure
- Emotional manipulation disguised as love
- Family expectations versus personal conviction
- Healing, discernment, and God's perfect timing
This story is for every woman who has ever been told she is "waiting too long," for every believer choosing faith over fear, and for anyone who trusts that what God prepares is always worth the wait.
