Promise coverThanks to Caitlin Hamilton Marketing & Publicity, LLC, I am giving away one copy of The Promise.

Book Description:

In THE PROMISE, Weisgarber returns with a deeply moving story about the Galveston, Texas 1900 Storm, the worst natural disaster in the United States in the 20th century. While
there are accounts of what happened to the city of Galveston and its residents, little has been written about what happened to the families on the rural, isolated end of the island,
something Weisgarber sought to remedy.

The story begins a few weeks before the storm and is told by two narrators. The first, Catherine Wainwright, is a concert pianist fleeing scandal and Ohio society by marrying Oscar
Williams, a recently widowed dairy farmer who lives on the island. The second is Nan Ogden, the local young woman Oscar hired to care for his home and small, grieving son, Andre.
Nan has grown attached to Oscar and Andre, and she struggles to accept Catherine in the household. As for Catherine, she is overwhelmed by her secrets, by motherhood, and by the
rougher surroundings. But when the hurricane strikes, Catherine and Nan are tested as never before.

Watch for my review, coming soon.
