I am very proud to have been a part of this author’s journey! Next from DreamEmpire Publishing- The In Between: What to Do Between the Prayer and the Promise” by Darnita D. Samuels

https://www.amazon.com/Between-What-Do-Prayer-Promise-ebook/dp/B0F23G666L

“The In Between: What to Do Between the Prayer and the Promise” by Darnita D. Samuels is exactly what my spirit needed.

As a 50-year-old Black woman who’s lived through a few storms—prayed some prayers, cried some nights, and waited years to see promises come to pass—this book spoke directly to my soul. Darnita doesn’t sugarcoat the waiting process. She brings truth, wisdom, and so much grace to the space we don’t talk about enough: the in between.

She writes like a sister-friend who’s been there, sat in the silence after the prayer, and wrestled with God’s timing. Her transparency, backed by both scripture and her experience as a therapist, gave me language for things I’ve felt but couldn’t always express. The chapters on Getting Quiet and Discerning God’s Voice especially hit home—I felt seen, heard, and guided.

Through her reflections on Hannah, Jabez, and Bartimaeus, I was reminded that waiting doesn’t mean forgotten. This book gave me both spiritual tools and emotional peace. It’s not just inspirational—it’s transformational.

If you’ve ever asked God “how long?” or felt like you’re stuck between the amen and the answer, read this book. It’s a lifeline. A must-read for women of faith walking through life’s waiting rooms.

The In Between: What to Do Between the Prayer and the Promise is a real, honest look at what happens after you pray but before you see the answer. In this book, Darnita D. Samuels shares her personal journey—one filled with questions, frustrations, and ultimately, deeper faith. With wisdom from h....

Blog Article: Unwrapping Legacy and Laughter in Harold Phifer’s “My Bully, My Aunt, and Her Final Gift”

What happens when the person who hurt you the most leaves behind a gift you never expected? In Harold Phifer’s bold and introspective memoir, My Bully, My Aunt, and Her Final Gift, readers are taken on a rollercoaster ride through grief, humor, and healing as Hal (Harold’s narrative voice) confronts the complicated legacy of his Aunt Kathy—a woman equal parts tormentor and, ironically, teacher.

Aunt Kathy wasn’t your garden-variety matriarch. She was commanding, overbearing, and unapologetically cruel. And yet, in her absence, Hal finds the strange space to laugh, reflect, and ultimately grow. Planning her memorial becomes a comical and poignant odyssey that peels back layers of childhood wounds, long-buried traumas, and the strange truths that only hindsight and humor can illuminate.

This memoir is far from typical. It doesn’t aim to canonize the dead or pretend the past was prettier than it was. Instead, Phifer serves up honesty with a side of wit, proving that even our darkest relationships can leave behind lessons—and, sometimes, laughter.

But what makes My Bully, My Aunt, and Her Final Gift so striking is not just the story—it’s the storyteller.

Meet Harold Phifer: From Mississippi Streets to Global Grit

Born and raised in Columbus, Mississippi, Harold Phifer’s life reads like an action film infused with soulful introspection. He hustled as a kid, navigated the bar scenes before he could legally drink, and forged his way through two college degrees. But it was the skies that called to him—beginning a career as an Air Traffic Controller in Memphis, Tennessee.

After over two decades in that high-stakes career, Phifer still felt a restless stir. That pull led him into the world of international contracting, where he spent years working with soldiers in war-torn regions like Iraq and Afghanistan—experiences that changed him and shaped his voice as a writer. From surviving evacuations during U.S. military withdrawals to building a new life in Guantanamo Bay and later the Middle East, Harold’s story is one of resilience, adaptability, and reinvention.

His writing blends real-world grit with philosophical insight and emotional rawness. Each book, including My Bully, My Aunt, and Her Final Gift, carries his unique stamp: unflinching honesty, dark humor, and a deep understanding of the human spirit.

A Gift You Didn’t Ask For, But Might Just Need

In a time when memoirs often sanitize pain or wrap trauma in tidy bows, Phifer’s work stands apart. My Bully, My Aunt, and Her Final Gift doesn’t shy away from discomfort—it invites you to laugh through it, learn from it, and emerge a little wiser.

Grab your copy of this unconventional yet heartwarming memoir today on Amazon: https://bit.ly/3X6UrDh

Whether you’ve lost someone, survived something, or simply need a reminder that healing can come in strange packages, Harold Phifer’s latest book just might be the unexpected gift you didn’t know you needed.
