SUBMIT. A Novel (en Inglés) - Natasha Lewin

"There are books you read, and then there are books that read you. SUBMIT is the latter. Real and raw." - Dr. Aerial Ellis, founder, Black Women Pray

Since she was eighteen, Dee Moreland Taylor has survived everything alone. She micromanages her small business, her virginity, and her relationships with anyone who might get too close, including her newlywed husband Eric, and especially God. 

Now in her mid-40s in rural Kentucky, Dee's life is spiraling without her permission. Drowning in debt, navigating menopause, and trying to hold herself up to scripture's standards as a late-in-life wife, she makes a calculated trade: she'll train Eric for an elite ultramarathon using the one thing she's always controlled: sex. But when injury sidelines their training, her sexual awakening stalls. Dee is alone again, faced with her own desire, and no guide for what comes next.

SUBMIT is a debut novel about a Black woman caught between trauma, purity culture, and menopause - and what it means to surrender to faith.
