    <![CDATA[In this memoir, Elise Crawford reconstructs the painful reality of her own life in the wake of the senseless murder of her beloved—a Seattle Metro Transit driver—tragically shot and killed in the line of duty on the Aurora Bridge the day after Thanksgiving, 1998. With a series of chronological photographs—alive with supernatural testimonies that guide her writing process—Elise shares her story in perfect detail, recalling the ten years of their life together prior to the tragedy and journals her spiraling decent into the abyss of grief. Elise tells how, with courage, fortitude, and faith— holding fast to her beloved’s memory and his promise that she and the children would always be loved and cared for—she eventually finds her way home to be with her loved ones once again.<br/><br/>In A Promise Kept the author reaches out to other survivors of tragic loss, in hopes that by reliving her experiences, they will re-live their own, yet come away with the strength and courage needed to face, to accept, and to begin their own grief journey, regardless of the nature of their loss. Most importantly, A Promise Kept is about learning to live again within Acceptance.<br/>]]>
