Book Overview

Twenty years have passed since the war between the North and South ended, and life in Cades Cove, Tennessee has somewhat returned to normal. Livelihoods have been rebuilt, families have once again grown, and everyone is striving to overcome the pain of loss. But the lasting effects of the war remain.

Noah Henry is approaching his twentieth birthday and still lives at home with his folks and eight siblings. He struggles to find privacy, and as a grown man, he's ready for a family of his own.

Years ago, he and Opal Jacobson made a promise to marry. However, Opal lives in Asheville, North Carolina, and seeing each other isn't easy. They've kept their relationship alive over the years through correspondence, but her letters have stopped coming, and Noah needs to know why. He decides it's time for an official proposal, so he sets off for Asheville, hoping she's as ready as he is to finally tie the knot.

Opal has other ideas. She spends her days helping her father tend the general store; she's a business woman, not a farmer's wife. The thought of living anywhere else doesn't appeal to her, but a mysterious man, who arrives in town seeking employment, does.

A promise is a promise.

Yet sometimes, the best-laid promise may be impossible to keep.

About Jeanne Hardt

After growing up in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, Jeanne moved to Nashville, Tennessee to pursue a career in music and acting. But in November of 2010, she found that her true love is writing. A dream inspired her first historical romance, and she hasn't stopped writing since. Her love for American history has driven her to dig deep into researching her time periods in order to bring a realistic and touching story to her readers. She hopes that you will enjoy reading them as much as she enjoys writing them. She currently lives with her husband in Tennessee where they spend their spare time spoiling their grandchildren and living each day to the fullest.
