For thirty-three years, she's kept a promise to everyone - except the one that matters most. When she was seventeen, her twin sister Sissy made her promise that no matter what happened, she would keep singing - keep music alive for both of them. Then Sissy was gone, taken by a brain tumor far too soon, and the promise became a wound she's carried quietly ever since. Now, as she turns fifty and prepares to celebrate twenty-five years of marriage, the milestones she should be grateful for only deepen the ache.
She wakes up restless, guilty, and haunted by a question she can't shake: has she truly honored her sister's memory - or has she spent decades keeping every promise except the one Sissy asked of her?As old grief resurfaces and long-buried emotions rise to the surface, she's forced to confront the life she's built, the people she loves, and the parts of herself she's never let heal. Keeping Promises is a heartfelt story about sisterhood, faith, and the quiet courage it takes to finally make peace with the promises - and the people - we hold closest to our hearts.
