All the PromisesBy Deborah RaneyDescription:While Simon and Garfunkel and The Carpenters croon from the radio in a small Kansas town, two people find the miracle of love. Michelle Penn has dropped out of college to work as a reporter for a tiny weekly newspaper. The boss's son, Robert Merrick III, is quickly making her forget all about her former sweetheart, Kevin, who has shipped out to Vietnam. Rob loves the newspaper business but feels trapped working for his father. He dreams of having his own newspaper, but now that he's met Michelle, she is what he wants most of all. Rob is forbidden by office policy to date Michelle, but if he were to quit his job, he'd have nothing to offer her. It seems the thing they most desire–each other–is out of reach. But then, love always makes a way. This novel was originally published in 2013 as Silver Bells. Awards:
Why the author wrote this book:I loved harkening back to the time of my own childhood and remembering that the '70s, despite the chaos the Vietnam war brought, had a nostalgic charm. Family still meant love and warmth, and people still fell in love the old-fashioned way. |
