A Spiritual Companion for Great Lent, the Newly Illumined, and Catechumens.
Tiffany Desiree, known in the Spirit as Olga, writes from the frontlines of unseen warfare in this haunting devotional memoir—a dark night of the soul waged by a daughter of a global lineage. Caught between the gilded, ancient beauty of the Eastern Orthodox Church and the jagged scars of being "Wounded by the Physician," she navigates a landscape where religious betrayal meets the cold ache of exile. Through a singular collection of Penitential Prose and Narrative Fiction, she maps the ruins of institutional failure to forge a sovereign path toward spiritual victory.
A Washington State University alumna, Desiree documents the Black Orthodox Christian experience, inviting every broken spirit bearing the weight of "church hurt" to sift through the wreckage. Within these pages, the struggle is somatic and visceral: the sting of the withheld baptismal cross, the protective weight of the wool prayer veil, and the desperate cries for St. Olga of Alaska to intercede in the lightless void.
More than a chronicle of displacement, this lament is a testimony of resilience. It is the story of surviving the long winter of treachery to find a sanctuary that finally speaks her name—a community as diverse and rich as a land of milk and honey. With hidden depths to discover, this work serves as a profound companion throughout Great Lent and a mirror for Catechumens navigating the threshold of Holy Baptism. It is a vital guide for the Newly Illumined and every Inquirer seeking the ancient path amidst the shadows of the world.

In this evocative collection of sixteen poems and a bonus short story, Tiffany Desiree presents a profound tapestry of spiritual, erotic, and cultural narratives. Each selection invites the reader to see more unequivocally, feel more deeply, and love more boundlessly.

This volume features celebrated works such as The American Immigrant, Two-Spirited Oregon Mistress, The Weeping Bird, and Blue Love Making. As an INFJ personality type, Tiffany Desiree finds solace in the poetic process and enjoys engaging with a community of fellow introverts via her Facebook page, INFJ - The Outgoing Introvert.

NOTE: As an Eastern Orthodox Christian, Tiffany no longer writes in the genre where she previously published a compilation of fiction poems with queer themes; her past work utilized exaggerated stories and interviews to appeal to a wide audience.

How the Indian Beat the Black Out of Me
Robert and Cecilia Demery welcomed their son Samuel into the world in 1908 in Natchitoches, Louisiana, a time when heightened racial animosity, intensified by national events such as the Springfield race riot, permeated the social landscape.
Unlike relatives who sought re-enrollment in the Cherokee Nation's Cooweescoowee District, Robert focused on forging his own legacy, aspiring to the stature of his grandfather, Allen Demery. His grandfather, a Free Person of Color recorded in the very first 1790 census, became a substantial landowner with thousands of acres, earning this land through his service during the War of 1812.
The Demery men were highly regarded as proud and industrious individuals who built strong reputations everywhere they traveled. John Demery established the North Carolina Waccamaw settlement in 1813; similarly, Robert was ready to make his mark on history.
1908 was a tough year. It had been 43 years since the Negro was freed from slavery, and individuals like Pratt Plecker forced the term "Colored" onto Indians as a race. The Demery men achieved unimaginable wealth, in part, by leveraging identities as individuals with mixed Cherokee and Lumbee ancestry.
Determined to accumulate personal wealth, Robert, the first Demery in his role, found himself at a crossroads. He had to choose between his financial aspirations and his identity in a new republic heavily preoccupied with racial dynamics.
