About the Book

Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book? When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is with me.
Psalm 56:8-9A heartwarming WWII historical from award-winning author Cara Putman:

Can new love endure heartbreak?

Josie Wilson’s newlywed life is perfect—until her hopes and dreams are shattered by a miscarriage. She’s not sure her wounded heart will ever heal. Then Art asks her to open their home to a distant cousin who’s been evacuated from England. Will the child open her heart? Or will she remain closed off to the prospect of future pain?

Art Wilson adores his bride, but he never anticipated how challenging marriage could be. When grief over the baby they’ve lost forms a chasm between him and his new wife, he wonders if he has made a horrible mistake. Why can’t Josie support him and understand his long hours are necessary as the industry is reeling in the early days of World War II?

Will the ravages of war and personal grief tear Josie and Art apart, or will they keep the promises made to each other on their wedding day?

Author’s Notes for A Promise Kept
The first book in the Ohio brides series, step back to 1939 and 1940. Colleen Coble calls this my women’s fiction, married, romance, historical. I call it a book of my heart. Josie and Art Wilson are newleyweds when they welcome a little girl evacuated from Britain into their home.

I discovered the idea of British children being evacuated to the United States when my husband and I were in London for a long weekend several years ago. The Imperial War Museum had an exhibit on Children and War that we almost didn’t walk through. I’m so glad we did!
