The Promise

Do miracles really happen? Can fairytales come true? Is true love possible? And how does God fit into the equation? In 1967 during the turmoil of the Vietnam war and the civil rights movement, fourteen-year-old Connie had been thrust into a world of her own turbulence. She is stripped away from her parents, home, friends, and even her clothes. She finds herself wrapped in a towel, her hair dripping, listening to the long deep gulps of the drain swallowing the remnants of her old life. In losing everything, the miracle of The Promise comes back into view for Connie. One part of The Promise is that God will never leave her. The other part is about making fairytales come true, finding love, and creating the life she longs for. She held onto her dreams with the encouragement of God and the quirky friendship they shared.
