Promises and Sweet Memories
With each step forward, the women of Whisling seem to be pushed two steps back. But these passionate and powerful women aren't giving up anytime soon. They will work for that long-awaited promise of a bright and better tomorrow.
Nora's day has finally come. She is about to reunite with her daughter, Amber, after more than twenty years apart. But when an unexpected party begins to voice her hesitation to the idea of Nora being in Amber's life again, will they overcome the odds once more or will Nora lose the chance to have a relationship with her child once again?
Alexis is ready to move on. She's stronger and proud of who she is. She can conquer the world. But can she begin dating again? Lou is sure she has just the man for Alexis and he does seem perfect, but this guy comes with baggage, maybe more baggage than Alexis can handle?
Life on Whisling couldn't be any better for Julia. But one phone call changes all of that. With her estranged family coming out of the woodwork, Julia isn't sure what to do. She knows that her family has burned her more than once, but can one truly turn her back on family?
Olivia and Dean are finally together. And they are happy. Oh so very happy. But then comes news that no one was expecting. Least of all Dean. An unimaginable heartbreak. Can Olivia and Dean's fledging relationship withstand that kind of strain?
These women of Whisling are about to take it all on. And as they do, they learn that while nothing in the future is certain, sweet memories of the past can promise what's to come will be magnificent.

A few story arcs are completed in this installment, and a few others are begun. Some couples solidify their relationships (Bess and Dax, Olivia and Dean) and some (Alexis and Evan, Nora and Mack) begin new ones. Julia, the movie star introduced in Book 5, makes new friends on Whisling Island, but a call for help from her mother has her returning to her hometown in Iowa and confronting the family who seems to have no use for her, despite her success. Nora, having discovered in Book 5 what happened to the baby she gave up for adoption many years ago, has a chance to meet that child and the family who adopted her. Alexis is happy that her mother has found happiness with her friend Lou’s father, but Lou’s twin sister Marsha is not happy about it. It was curious that a set of twins would be so different in their attitudes and the way they treat people. As always, I was drawn in to each of the many plot lines, but was concerned to see more errors than I usually find in Clemens’ writing.

Good continuation of series
Easy reading, quick read. This book is a conjugation of the others in the series. More characters introduced in previous books are developed here. I like the suitability the characters that couple up have to one another. My head is collecting so many names, I have to stop and question which the author is talking about now.

Promises and Sweet Memories
This book was as enjoyable as the first 5, all of Nora's drama with Amber and her adopted family. Dean losing his father. Julia starting her new life. All of Nora working with Mack through NA and meetings with the children at the hospital. Look forward to Julia's next book.

Julia Clemens is an awesome writer and has brought her characters to life experiencing crisis time and happy times. The way they all work together to help each other is encouraging and nice to read.

Once again another five star review from me. This book is amazing and takes us deeper into these women’s lives. Also we have met some new individuals along the way and I am loving it.

Some of the book is OK but there's no continuity. The author changes minor characters' names from book to book.It becomes confusing

Always nice stories, but the island seems to be getting more populated, as well as the books! Sometimes it’s hard to keep track of the characters!
