Sullied Bride: The Greatest Murder Cover Up of All Time

"It’s been the greatest murder cover up of all time. He didn’t make it look like an accident, or perfectly conceal the evidence. All he did was wait silently as the circumstances closed in on her and let her fall into the trap. Eve ate the deadly fruit while Adam didn’t say a word. The results were the greatest human tragedy of all time—the invention of death itself. And although he participated in the sin himself, in the cover-up for his plot, he shifted the blame to the woman". Jasmine Andrews, Sullied Bride, the book. Additionally, Adam shifted the blame unto God. Let's talk about it in the #urbansuite on the last Tuesday of Women's Herstory Month. #thensingsmysoul #sulliedbrideproduction #jasmineandrews
