About The Book: Mallory's search for happiness leads her to a faraway place. There she finds heartache, betrayal---and danger.  Mallory Hammond is determined that no one will stand in the way of her goal---to save a life. She had that chance years ago, and she failed to take it, leaving her adrift and in search of the real meaning of her life. Finally, she meets a man online from a volatile corner of the world who offers her the chance to find that purpose. But she will have to leave everyone she loves behind in order to take it.  Tate Webber has loved Mallory for many years.

When Mallory decides to travel across the world to fulfill her dreams, Tate begs her not to go but tries to give her the space she needs. Mallory embarks on her dangerous journey only to discover how swiftly and easily promises can be broken. And Mallory can only pray that she will make it out alive.  Inspired by actual events, The Promise is a riveting love story that asks the question: how far will we go for love?  Purchase a copy: http://ow.ly/CP8sr

My Thoughts About The Book:  All I can say is Wow!  This book was one of those that once you began reading it life ceased to exist.  I did without sleep to finish this book.  It was an amazing story when I thought it was fiction.  When I found out that it was based on a real life event, I was speechless.  My daughter and SIL are missionaries in a third world country where teenage girls are taken as sex slaves every day.  I know things like this happen....sometimes it is just easier to put our heads in the sand.  Mallory Hammond was an amazing character in this book.  It was hard to believe that a young women would leave everything familiar to travel to a country so different from her home...but she did..... and then...nope I am not going to spoil it.  You have to buy this book in order to find out...."The rest of this story."  You won't regret it.  I promise.
