Review of Sara's Promise by Deanna Lynn Sletten

Sara's Promise
 
 
Sara Grafton loved her life.  She took care of 

her family and they needed her.  Her children 

meant the world to her.  Her husband was her 

soul mate.  She told him more than once 

that she would be with him forever and take care 

of their family.  And then the unthinkable 

happened.  Sara died.  William was lost.  Sara 

took care of everything.  He didn't 

even know where she took the dry cleaning. She 

had said that she would always take care of 

their family and now it was all on him.  For 

five years he took on all the challenges 

of being a single parent.  Til one day when he

 met Annie.  Annie who has eyes the exact color

 as his Sara did.  He felt drawn to her instantly.  

When he is with her he feels so comfortable after 

such a short time and he cant explain why.  There

is just something about her that makes him feel whole 

again. Annie has been having the same dreams for years. 

 Above her in the sky is beautiful color like ribbons

 that bring warmth and comfort but there is someone

 else there showing her the face of a man and his 

family and telling her that they are her destiny, her

 fate.  She doesn't believe in love and happily ever 

after so fate has no place in her life.  But when 

she meets William for the first time, she knows that 

he is the man from her dreams. She feels close to him, 

so fast and that is not like her.  Can she believe in 

love and be a part of this family that needs her as much

 as she seems to need them.  Can she accept that Sara 

has brought her to them to care for and love.
 
 
Review:  another great book.  The author did a great 

job of giving the characters such strong feelings that

 its easy to get drawn into caring for them.  Even Sara

 who you can feel throughout the book.  Annie is such 

an easy character to like and identify with.  And 

William and her story is so sweet.  But the most touching 

part of the book is the dynamic between Sara and her 

daughter, Sandy.  With Sara dead and gone, the writer 

is still able to heal the relationship between the two 

women.  I easily recommend this book 

to you all.
