Product Description
Raelene Strattford knows God has promised never to leave or forsake her. But after the catastrophic deaths of her parents, she doesn t believe it. What kind of God would take a girl's family and leave her alone in a wild land where women have no voice? Gustaf Hanssen has admired Raelene from afar for a while, but his poor attempt at courting her in the past has made him unwelcome in her life. When Gustaf promises Raelene's dying father that he will take care of her, he finds himself bound to her happiness, her success, and her well-being in ways he never imagined. To keep his word must Gustaf really oversee all of Raelene's affairs, find her a husband, and maintain her farm, while she does nothing but scorn him? Can God reach through Raelene's pain and self-centeredness and give her the love that awaits, if only she will accept His will?

StephanieD (USA: IL) (2010/01/23): Promises, Promises is a quick, sweet and inspirational read. Raelene Strattford suffers a loss most of us would be unable to bear: the loss of both parents in the same accident. Now, she must work the family’s newly bought farm or lose the land and her home, all at the age of seventeen. Gustaf Hanssen promised Raelene’s father that he would help her and take care of her in the time that follows her loss. He honors his word and does everything he can to help Raelene accomplish her parents’ dreams. Will it be enough to prove to her that his love is true?At first, I had a hard time even liking Raelene. She seemed to stubborn and ungrateful of everyone’s help. As the story continued though, she got better and it was worth pulling through those first 50 or so pages. This was a story of someone who was dealt a crippling blow and how she turned her back on God but came back to Him when she realized she could not do it on her own. This was a very good read. B+/3.5 Romance: Sweet
