The Bride

She wanted to be a wife. But what was that desire costing her?

In The Bride, Candace the Corporation opens the door to the relationships, secrets, and private heartbreaks she once kept hidden. With unflinching honesty, she revisits the men she loved, the warning signs she explained away, and the moments she lost herself trying to be chosen.

From rejection and betrayal to motherhood and the struggle to let go, this deeply personal memoir reveals how longing for a husband can become tangled with identity, worth, and faith. Candace confronts the painful truth that she spent years focused on becoming someone's wife while neglecting the purpose and assignments God had placed before her.

She tells the uncomfortable parts, too: the embarrassing decisions, the repeated patterns, and the distance between what she believed and what she was willing to accept for love. Woven with reflection, Scripture, and prayer, these stories invite readers to examine their own desires and the compromises they have made to keep a relationship.

For the woman who has ever confused being wanted with being valued, stayed longer than she meant to, or wondered whether her past disqualified her from God's purpose, The Bride offers an honest place to begin again.

What happens when a woman who has spent years waiting to be chosen finally turns her heart toward the One who already called her His?
