About this listen

The Promise is a unforgettable story about finding love, hope and joy in even the darkest moments, by the Sunday Times best seller Lucy Diamond, author of The Secrets of Happiness.

When faced with the sudden death of his brother, Dan’s mission is clear. He puts together a project to help pick up the pieces and support his grieving sister-in-law Zoe, plus her young children. This is Dan’s promise - to ensure his family’s happiness and to try and live up to the man his brother was.

But tying up loose ends brings a shocking secret to light and calls into question everything Dan knew about his older brother. With more than just his promise on the line, Dan is faced with an ultimatum: should he tell the truth and risk his family’s fragile happiness, or will his brother’s secrets end up becoming his own?

I am so glad that I listened to this book because I nearly didn’t after some of the very negative reviews. I was captured from the first page. The characters were very believable and although a sad story I found it true to life. It was a bit predictable but then it gave a happy ending. If only this world was filled with forgiveness like this what a better world it would be.
