Historia
At the young age of three, while I was at school, my mother was murdered by her abusive new boyfriend. What would happen to her five unintentionally abandoned children? The heartbreak of the devastating loss of my mother was just the beginning of a series of tragic events that shaped my childhood. Lost in the chaos of abuse, I was the unseen collateral damage of domestic violence. I was forced to take on the role of the invisible child for self-preservation. I figured you can't hurt what you can't see.

I didn’t like hearing that you didn’t report your dad’s friend because you hoped he was too old to continue molesting children. That is absolutely not true.

Historia
Eve Hatch lives for surprises! Just kidding. She expects every tomorrow to be pretty much the same as today. She loves her cozy apartment in Brooklyn that’s close to her childhood best friend Willa, and far from her midwestern, traditional family who has never really understood her. While her job is only dream-adjacent, it’s comfortable and steady. She always knows what to expect from her life . . . until she finds herself expecting after an uncharacteristic one-night stand.

Historia
Being one of the guys isn't all it's cracked up to be. So when journalist Chastity O'Neill returns to her hometown, she decides it's time to start working on some of those feminine wiles. Two tiny problems: one - she's five feet and 11 inches of rock-solid girl power; two - she's cursed with four alpha-male older brothers. While doing a story on local heroes, she meets a hunky doctor, and things start to look up. Now there's only one problem: Trevor Meade, her first love and the one man she's never quite gotten over....

Historia
It was four o'clock in the morning. A young woman pushed through the hospital doors. Staff would later say they thought the woman was a new mother, returning to her child - and in a way, she was. She walked into the nursery, where a baby girl lay sleeping. The infant didn't wake when the woman placed her gently in the shopping bag she had brought with her. There is CCTV footage of what happened next, and most Australians would have seen it, either on the internet or the news.

Revisado: 06-28-15
Would you listen to The Promise again? Why?
Yes I would. I really enjoyed the character portrayal. The development of the marriage and the unfolding of the trust, love and committment between Catherine and Oscar
Which character – as performed by Coleen Marlo – was your favorite?
I liked the two main characters Catherine and Nan. My favorite was Catherine. She started off so pretentious through social breeding. As she came "down" in her lot in life to marry beneath her, I truly enjoyed how she managed this with such credibility. She was judged harshly in Nan's eyes because she never really took to the "expected" role of a dairy farmer's wife. She slept in, contributed minimally to the running of the household. But none the less, she fell in love and became a mother, and eventually she earned Nan's compassion and respect.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I really enjoyed how Catherine and Oscar's love unfolded. He was so patient with her. I liked him so much more when Catherine discovered the letter.
Any additional comments?
