Are you wanting to read a Christian Novel with a difference ?


The Promises She Keeps

Review: The Promises She Keeps - Erin Healy- February 2011

Are you wanting a book that has a christian background but in more ways than not comes across something quite different ? The Promises She Keeps is the fourth book written by Erin Healy and the fourth one I have read , so I am familiar with this author's writing and I have loved her edginess that plays within her novels, however this one stood out from the rest and It could be of two reasons , the first I have been busy watching the Season One of Eastwick on my computer and because I have family members with autism and a form of cystic fibrosis, though not as bad as the characters which are portrayed in this novel. The Promises she Keeps delves into the life of five people , we have Promise - a singer who is dying from Cystic Fibrosis and her one dream in life is to make it big before she passes , the second character is a photographer named Zack - which happens to be my brothers name, though spelt differently who takes a photo of a woman in mid air and the photo draws different reactions from those in the novel, all who are captivated and want to seek the woman out , Porta - who is a seventy year old sorcereress which of course is why it reminded me of Eastwick and gives the novel that magical feeling , and the final fourth and fifth characters are twins Cameron and Chelsea. Cameron is autistic and it becomes apparent in the novel that he just has to seek out the person in the photo and it becomes an obsession for him and Chelsea - has always been Cameron's caretaker and looked out for him, but as Cameron treks on his journey, Chelsea becomes worried that his obsession may lead him into danger.
An Edgy Christian Fiction novel that touches base on a number of topics from sorcery to illness both physical and mental and the meaning of obsession and love.
