Promise Me Tomorrow

September 1, 1997
Katherine Taggart, known as Rusty because of her red hair, adores children and is able to indulge her love for them by working in her family's orphanage. When she accompanies two orphans to their new home, Rusty meets wealthy Chase McCandles and soon finds herself falling in love with him. On the surface, Chase, a believer in God, appears to be everything a devout Christian would want. However, Rusty discovers that Chase treats his own son Quintin with great distance, and she is reluctant to pursue a relationship with a man who doesn't share her devotion to children. Wick (Whispers of Moonlight, Harvest House, 1996) does a fine job of re-creating life in turn-of-the century Colorado. Chase is especially well written, which allows him to become more that the usual one-dimensional romantic lead. Highly recommended.
