Silent Wail

About the Book

Daniela Umar’s commitment to God is unquestionable. Her amiable personality and charm make her admired wherever she goes. Married to Joshua, a handsome aristocrat and business tycoon, she is surrounded by riches and everything money can buy, as well as three adorable children. But behind this façade is a struggling marriage no one knows about.<p>

The highly intelligent and likable James Obida, a deputy commissioner in charge of investigation for the Criminal Investigation Division of the Nigerian Police Force, approaches Daniela with concerns about his wife, Patricia, and a plea for assistance. Daniela helps save the couple’s marriage and facilitates Patricia’s personal walk with God. But, Daniela finds she wants more; she wants another woman’s husband, an average man in comparison to her husband’s status, whose charm is a passionate nature her billionaire husband desperately lacks. <p>

What begins as a simple attraction soon becomes an obsession. And where all human reasoning and effort fail, can her faith in and love for God and all she holds sacred, save her from this pit her soul has tumbled into?
