The Promise of Tomorrow

Discover the emotional, heart-wrenching book club pick from the bestselling author of A Single Act of Kindness. Perfect for fans of Jojo Moyes, David Nicholls and Faith Hogan.When is the right time to start to live a life you love?

Elena Swan hasn’t done everything yet. She’s not brave like her daredevil friend Rory. She’s never been to Paris. She always wanted to skydive too. She hasn’t even fallen in love.

She always hoped she had her whole lifetime to fulfil these dreams. But then a series of events happen, each putting her life in terrible danger, and Elena remembers…

The promise she made – all those years ago, when her mother was so ill – when she spoke to a stranger in the woods. A promise that would keep her mother safe, but put Elena’s own life at risk, instead, when she grew up and turned thirty.

Elena had put the promise to the back of her mind, over the years. But she’s twenty-nine now, and suddenly she’s realising the possibility that her days could be numbered.

Without the promise of tomorrow, can Elena fulfil all her dreams before fate comes for her? Even her dream of falling in love…?

A completely powerful, uplifting and romantic story, about friendship, love and fate; guaranteed to have readers reaching for the tissues!
