When a promise kept

means a life is broken

β€˜A beautiful story…prepare to have your heart warmed and broken, to laugh and to cry.’

Natasha Lester

When a promise kept means a life is broken …

Tessa De Santis’s child-free marriage in inner-city Sydney is ordered and comfortable, and she likes it that way.

When tragedy strikes and her childhood friend Skye Whittaker dies, Tess is bound to honour a promise to become foster-mother to Skye’s ten-year-old daughter, Grace, changing her life irrevocably.

Leaving her husband and successful career behind, Tess travels to an isolated property where the realities of her friend’s life – and death – hit hard. The idyllic landscape and an unexpected form of therapy ease her fears, and her relationship with Grace begins to blossom.

But a secret from her earlier life with Skye refuses to remain hidden, and Tess is forced into a decision that will either right the wrongs of the past, or completely destroy her future.

Cross My Heart is a haunting story of guilt, redemption and friendship set in the beautiful central west of New South Wales.

Reviews

β€˜I am not sure where to start, this book has left me speechless. It is a beautifully written story of true friendship that lasts forever even without seeing each other…don’t read this one without a box of tissues very handy.’

Helen Sibritt

β€˜Cross My Heart is the kind of story that grabs ahold of your feelings on the first page, and refuses to let go until the very last. I loved every word of this emotional and compelling story. Pamela Cook is a rare and extraordinary talent’

Kelly Rimmer

β€˜Cross My Heart is my first Pamela Cook book and I loved it. It dealt with confronting topics but is also a beautiful story of perseverance, love and friendship. I was hooked on this book right from the start and finished it within a day.’
