A Promise Kept By Robin Lee Hatcher



God was going to save her marriage, Allison was sure of it. But neither her husband nor her marriage had been saved.
What had become of His promise?
Tony Kavanagh had been Allison’s dream-come-true. They were in love within days, engaged within weeks, married and pregnant within a year. Her cup bubbled over with joy . . . but years later, that joy had been extinguished by unexpected trials.
The day Allison issued her husband an ultimatum, she thought it might save him. She never expected he would actually leave. She was certain God had promised to heal; it was clear that she'd misunderstood.
Now, living in the quiet mountain cabin she inherited from her single, self-reliant Great Aunt Emma, Allison must come to terms with her grief and figure out how to adapt to small town life. But when she finds a wedding dress and a collection of journals in Emma’s attic, a portrait of her aunt emerges that takes Allison completely by surprise: a portrait of a heartbroken woman surprisingly like herself.
As Allison reads the incredible story of Emma’s life in the 1920s and 1930s, she is forced to ask a difficult question: Does she really surrender every piece of her life to the Lord? 
Drawing from her own heart-wrenching story of redemption, A Promise Kept is Robin Lee Hatcher’s emotionally charged thanksgiving to a God who answers prayers—in His own time and His own ways.

I don't normally enjoy books that jump from one time period to anther time period but this book was really good. Each chapter was a different time period from Aunt Emma and Allison but I really enjoyed the present chapters which were Allison's story.
I am sure that you will love how the story ends. I was so happy!
It also touches on a drinking problem and the author shows us how with God anything is possible.
I gave this book 4 stars and I recommend it.
I was given a copy of this book by the publisher for my honest review.

  7. Great review, Mary. I have this book in the TBR pile. I'm not a fan of skipping back and forth between time periods either, but I've seen some pretty good reports on this book.

    I read Robin's testimony - which was the inspiration for "A Promise Kept", and it was so touching, and inspiring! I love books that deal with real problems that we, as readers, can identify with. I would love to read "A Promise Kept"!
