Keeping Promises

For thirty-three years, she's kept a promise to everyone — except the one that matters most.

When she was seventeen, her twin sister Sissy made her promise that no matter what happened, she would keep singing — keep music alive for both of them. Then Sissy was gone, taken by a brain tumor far too soon, and the promise became a wound she's carried quietly ever since.

Now, as she turns fifty and prepares to celebrate twenty-five years of marriage, the milestones she should be grateful for only deepen the ache. She wakes up restless, guilty, and haunted by a question she can't shake: has she truly honored her sister's memory — or has she spent decades keeping every promise except the one Sissy asked of her?

As old grief resurfaces and long-buried emotions rise to the surface, she's forced to confront the life she's built, the people she loves, and the parts of herself she's never let heal.

Keeping Promises is a heartfelt story about sisterhood, faith, and the quiet courage it takes to finally make peace with the promises — and the people — we hold closest to our hearts.
