Readers of Ann Napolitano's 'Hello Beautiful' and fans of Kathryn Stockett will enjoy reading the new release from Lisa Beck Bostwick.
Thoughtful, witty and tender, a story about connecting, creating family. What you keep from them. And for them. Of those we put on a pedestal, those trying to climb or are kicking at it, and those who fall off.
A mercurial journey, escorted by multiple narrators, spin with distinctly entertaining voices. Seating in the hills of Salt Lake City, it's a ride through the 1980's, winding bends and twists and tummy ticklers, scenic overlooks of foreign lands, swirling emotion into a new millennium.
Kathie Palmer has always wanted a sister.
When Mariah Lee and baby move in next door, it is the answer to that prayer and more- expanding her world to far-off places, the glamor of Paris, and an inside view of empathy and compassion that keeps her at the center of family.
Elaine Palmer is wary of the perfect, illusive, Mariah, and struggles with the fatherless child, Suzannah, who invades her home with chaos. Yet she does what a good neighbor must, enjoys the blessings of seeing her family grow, unaware of what her own growth will require.
Suzannah Lee wears her heart on her sleeve, flickering from laughs to heartache. Predictably unpredictable she bumps scrapes and stitches against the wall of her mother's secrets, through a black hole, chokes on the foot in her mouth, literally falls on her face, and has her heart broken. Cheered on by an unlikely coach, Jeff, she jumps on the path to become a pro athlete.
Jeff Carlisle often finds himself thrust into uncomfortable predicaments, like getting talked into coaching teenage girls. He will win more than one heart.
They will each lose what they hold most dear, in order to hold onto them.
KEEPING of Secrets and Promises is a story of mothers, daughters, sisters, and lovers; prices paid for another's happiness; promises and secrets they keep.
Complete with a book club treasure hunt, this heartwarming novel is the perfect gift to lift any day.
... invites you into its pages from the very beginning...to find yourself intertwined... I am already looking forward to her next one!
... perspective-driven approach is one of the novel's greatest strengths, giving the story an intimate and emotionally honest feeling throughout...characters are memorable and distinctly human. D. Tarpenning
You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll fall in love.
Buckle up.
