A great book for understanding family relationships

When you find yourself blurting out "oh no!!" while reading a book, you know you have found a good one. That was what I did while reading a scene in "The Promise" by Dan Walsh and Gary Smalley. I find it hard to get into fiction nowadays and even less frequently do I get drawn in like this work of fiction has done.

I picked out The Promise to read because Gary Smalley has collaborated with Karen Kingsbury before and I enjoyed that series. I must say he has done perhaps even better in this series with Dan Walsh.

The Promise is the second title in the Restoration series. I have not read the first book but now that I have read this second book, I most definitely will try to get the first one. You don't have to have read The Dance to understand what happens in The Promise but it would be better in order to get the complete picture. Anyhow you will not want to miss the first part of the love story between two of the characters once you have read about them in Book 2!

Not only is "The Promise" entertaining, it also has the potential to help you get a better perspective on relationships within the family and even to overcome some of the more common problems that couples face today. That's what you can expect when an expert like Gary Smalley is involved in the project.

I will be checking out more of Dan Walsh's work!

5 stars for this book. Highly recommended.
