Item Description...
Overview
When two teens from opposite sides of the tracks are killed in a car accident, Melanie Johnston, a grieving single mother, and Andie Phelps, a reserved woman who retreats even further into herself with grief, fight their way through pain as their community is torn apart. Original. 35,000 first printing.
Publishers Description
When a car accident kills two teens from opposite sides of the tracks, the aftermath threatens to tear a community apart. On one side, Melanie Johnston--a grieving single mother--is convinced her son will be forgotten. On the other is Andie Phelps, a reserved woman who retreats even further into herself with grief. Readers' emotions are torn between these two sympathetic characters as each fights her way through grief and pain--sometimes wisely and sometimes with choices that have the power to divide family, church, and even their small seaside town. A riveting selection for any women's book discussion group.

 | Do NOT recommend May 29, 2010 |
Half way through the book I seriously considered putting it down and reading no more. I kept on reading because I really try to finish every book I begin. Here is what I didn't like:
1. Simplistic and unrealistic plot and development of events. Elementary, amateurish writing style. (Felt I could have written it myself).
2. Poor characterization. Characters lack depth. It's hard to feel empathy towards Melanie, the main character.
3. Highly predictable.
4. As other reviewers have mentioned, the Christian/religious message is annoying. You feel like you're being preached by a book. If you are a Christian and do enjoy religious-themed books, I still consider there should be better options out there. I wouldn't recommend this one at all.
5. Overall, it lacks depth and substance in plot and character development.
The only thing I did like about the book was the forgiveness theme, the message of "hating someone does not hurt anyone other than yourself." It was a good concept; too bad it was so poorly developed. It felt like a "Lifetime" movie. | | |  | Pretty good read May 27, 2010 |
| This was a pretty good read. The story-line was intriguing, but the characters needed to be fleshed out a little more. I didn't put it away, but it also was not a "can't put it down" kind of a book. I think it would make perfect summer beach reading. | | | | Eh May 21, 2010 |
| Not a bad book. Good story line. Just not one of my favorites. I found I didn't get pulled into the book or connect with the characters. | | |  | A memorable read May 20, 2010 |
Cushman delivers engaging characters, and relative story lines, for anyone who is noticing that life provides many twists and turns, and that all people are different in their beliefs about religion, God, and Christianity.
When I began this book, I was a bit discouraged to realize that it was a faith-based novel, but by the end, I was entranced, and crying. Loved it, and highly recommend it as a women's community group option. You won't spend much time waiting for everyone to complete the reading! | | | | Literature? May 18, 2010 |
| This was so poorly written, so cliche, that I didn't even finish it. No wonder it was free on Kindle. | | | Write your own review about A Promise to Remember
