REVIEW OF "A NEW PROMISE"
|
Just wanted to share the latest review of my upcoming release, "A New Promise." If you aren't familiar with Delia Latham, she is a wonderful author of Christian romantic fiction....www.Delialatham.com.
Delia was kind enough to review "A New Promise", and has this to say about the book:
When Scott Parnell made the promise to his wife, Rachel - a victim of Huntington's disease - he had every intention of keeping it. But now she lies in a nearby medical facility, hooked up to the life support machinery she specifically instructed against. Scott can't bring himself to release her to the natural death she wanted.
Their children struggle with the pain of losing their mother. She's not alive, but not quite dead either. In addition, they face the terrifying possibility of falling prey to the same cruel disease that took her from them. Seventeen-year-old Tyler's fear and rebellion plummet him into a dangerous flirtation with drugs and alcohol. Tawnya, a socially outcast 12-year-old, secretly embraces bulimic behavior. And the family's already precarious life is about to change yet again. Rachel's younger sister is a successful career woman who shook the dust of Shuksan, Washington off her stylish shoes years ago. A staunch Christian, she responds obediently to the gentle God-tugs on her heart in regard to her sister's children, and determines to help her niece and nephew through the overwhelming tragedy of their mother's condition, even if it means returning to her hometown and facing a whole passel of unwelcome memories. Her brother-in-law is a grown man, she surmises - he can help himself if he wishes. As far as she can see, he certainly doesn't seem inclined to be there for Tyler and Tawnya. But God has special plans for both Scott and Celeste... A New Promise is a heartwarming, soul-stirring novel that takes the emotional bull by the horns and rides it fearlessly into the devastation wrought on the Parnell family by Huntington's disease. Julie Eller handles a highly controversial subject - the right to die - with grace, finesse, and utter believability. That Ms. Eller was able to weave a beautiful romance into an intricate storyline filled with difficult circumstances says much about her writing skills. Turning all of the devastation into a triumph of spiritual rebirth, rekindled hope, and the promise of new love and new life ... that makes Ms. Eller a truly gifted storyteller with an obviously spiritual mindset and a direct link to the very real God who directs the rocky paths of her characters. Absolutely unforgettable! "A New Promise" will release on 9/11 and is available for pre-order on Amazon.com, Barnes & Nobles.com and Borders.com.
Thanks for allowing me to share my excitement!
