Promises... Promises....

Description
A young couple, each harboring a life-changing secret, struggle to rebuild trust and rekindle genuine love before it's too late.

My thoughts:  On our wedding day, we make promises, we think we are going to keep with all of our heart, but what happens when your world comes crashing down.
The Promise begins with Tom Anderson, the oldest son of the couple from The Dance, he’s lost his IT job five months ago, and is hiding it from everyone… and I mean everyone including his wife. His day consists of going to coffees shop to cop free Wi-Fi so he can find a job.

Tom isn’t the only one with secrets, Jean, Tom’s submissive wife, hasn’t been feeling well and she thinks they are about to add to their young family, but Tom has been acting so strange lately, could he be having an affair?

With appearances from characters from the first book in the series The Dance, this book has a full cast of characters who go through transformation. I would definitely recommend reading The Dance and then The Promise because you can appreciate the character development that much more.
The Restoration Series is a great look at relationships, and the power of God and his ability to transform us.  

Smalley who co-wrote the Redemption Series with Karen Kingsbury has found another winner, and we are blessed by great stories of people navigating life and finding their promise.
