Absolutely the very best that I have read from Tracie Peterson so far. "A Promise to Believe In" is creative, moving, funny, adventurous, and endearing. I just loved it. It had all of the elements that I have come to love of historical novels from Tracie Peterson.
In many historicals, a reader can find a novel telling the story of three characters, in this case sisters, and then the next two books in the trilogy will continue the story of a different character. This is the first book that I have read that I knew was more about one sister than the others, but it did not feel that way. I got some insight and background on each sister and was feeling for them and loving them all from the beginning in different ways, yet not more than the other. It makes me even more excited for the continuing books that I would have been otherwise.
Gwen Gallatin learns or at least God attempts to put her in positions to learn of his love and grace and this book is a fabulous tool to learn some pure motives to check your own thoughts and opinions of yourself and those around you.
An absolutely pleasure filled read full of the glory and grace of God in the characters and their actions. I can definitely see a continuing story building of how good will triumph in the name of God. Keep the books coming Tracie, I want more!!

This sounds really good, I'll make sure to put it on my TBR list. :-) Thanks for the detailed review - I like to hear WHY people like books and how they are affected and you totally satisfied my curiosity! :-)

I replied to your comment on Creative Madness. Thank you for noticing. It is really important to me to talk about why to read a book, and not just another synopsis.
I feel the same way! And I'm more likely to read a book (move it up my TBR) if there is a deeper message to it, too. If it's apparent that it really made a difference to people. Like Havah... see that one is in my mind because I keep hearing good things about how it made them think differently. If I ever write a book I really want it to be something that touches people and makes a difference.
