When Brenda suggests that family and friends write resolutions, share them, and follow their progress throughout the year, no one anticipates the startling revelations and upheavals that follow.
Resolutions come and go in The Resolutionary War, a poignant novel by Sandy Chase and Violet April Ebersole. This emotional story follows the Resolutionists' rollercoaster odyssey as they struggle to be true to their promises.
Brenda's year isn't getting off to a great start. Unable to conceive, she starts looking into adoption despite her husband's objections. Not yet ready to share her ordeal with her fellow Resolutionists, Brenda publicly announces a more banal resolution so as not to rock the boat.
Things start to spiral out of control, however, as Brenda begins to suspect that her husband is sleeping with her best friend, Rae.
And no one is prepared for the explosive chain of events when Rae, in the course of fulfilling one of her resolutions, discovers a family secret linking her to Brenda's husband in an unsettling way.
The Resolutionary War explores the idea of personal progress, ultimately asking readers: Do people change because of their resolutions ... or in spite of them?
