Let Debbie Macomber take you into the HEART OF TEXAS
In Promise, Texas, people know what really matters—family, friends, community. And they know that love gives meaning to every day of their lives.…
Some of the people in Promise are from old ranching families—like the Westons and Pattersons—folks who arrived in the Hill Country more than a century ago. And then there are newcomers like Annie Applegate, who opens a bookstore in town. Some might say Annie does things backward. She marries a widowed veterinarian for the sake of his kids…and discovers that marriage can lead to love.
In Promise, everyone’s life is a story! The people here, like people everywhere, experience tragedies as well as triumphs, sorrow as well as joy. This town, like towns everywhere, has its share of secrets. But whether times are good or bad, you’re never alone in a place like Promise. And as Annie Applegate knows, that makes all the difference.
I hadn’t intended to write another book about Promise, Texas. When I finished the HEART OF TEXAS series, I was satisfied that I’d told the story of Promise, and solved the mystery around Bitter End. I was looking forward to new projects. New characters. Fresh plots and locations.
Then the letters started to arrive. Such eloquent, beautiful letters. Letters that stirred my heart and made me feel both humble and privileged to be a writer. Letters that asked for more. My readers wanted more of Promise, more stories about these characters. Thanks to my publisher MIRA (especially Paula and Dianne) for making this possible. I also want to thank Ann Cacciapaglia, friend, neighbor and vet-intraining. And thank you to my readers for validating my belief in the goodness of people everywhere and the pleasures of life in small-town America.
If this is your first trip to Promise, sit back and enjoy. If this is a return journey, be prepared to meet all your old friends and shake hands with a few new ones. This is the book you said you wanted! And my readers always seem to know my heart….
I eagerly look forward to hearing what my readers think about each book. You can write me at P.O. Box 1458, Port Orchard, WA 98366.
