Book Review: Promises to Keep by Ann Tatlock



I wanted to share a book I have just read.  It is called "Promises to keep" by Ann Tatlock. 


In Promises to Keep we meet Roz an 11 year-old girl in the 60's. Even though Roz' mother takes her family and leaves Roz' father, an alcoholic and abusive husband, Roz wants to believe that her daddy can change and they can be a happy family again.
This book is full of delightful characters including Tillie and Mara. Tillie we meet at the very beginning. Tillie is determined to end her days in the house she lived in and loved, even though it has been sold to Roz' family. Mara, Roz' new friend, is also keeping secrets and wishing to be reunited with her daddy.

I have never read a novel by Ann Tatlock before but after reading "Promises to keep" I will definitely read more.  This is one of those books I could not put down.  I loved that it was written in 11 year old Roz' point of few.

I highly recommend it to others.
I received a copy of this book from Bethany House in exchange for my honest review.
