Promises to Keep: A Novel by Jane Green
From the New York Times bestselling author of Falling and Sister Stardust comes a compelling novel about the love that keeps us together when everything is falling apart.
Callie Perry lives what appears to be the perfect life in Bedford, New York—a successful photography career, a handsome husband, and two children she adores. But beneath the surface, the people closest to her are struggling. Her best friend Lila navigates the complexities of her partner's demanding ex-wife. Her sister Steffi adjusts to trading city excitement for country simplicity. Her divorced parents, Walter and Honor, can barely tolerate being in the same room.
When Callie receives a diagnosis that her cancer has returned—a disease she believed she'd conquered—everything shifts. The news forces her family and friends to set aside their own troubles and come together during an unforgettable year that will change all their lives.
