Promises to Keep: A Novel (Savannah Skies, 2)
In this heartwarming sequel to Promises of the Heart in the Savannah Skies series, USA Today bestselling author Nan Rossiter returns to Tybee Island off the Georgia coast to focus on beloved characters Maeve and Gage as their relationship is tested by secrets they are keeping from each other.
Thirty-four-year-old Maeve Lindstrom loves her job at Willow Pond Senior Care. Her older sister Macey thinks Maeve is the only human being on earth who can make working in a nursing home sound like fun. Maeve enjoys being around the sundowners, as she calls them, helping them navigate their senior years-brightening a time that can be, all too often, a lonely, sad stage of life.
Thirty-three-year-old Gage Tennyson-who brings his mischievous yellow Lab, Gus, to whatever restoration job he is working on with Macey's husband, Ben-loves Maeve with all his heart. He's a handsome country boy and a true southern gentleman. But as he and Maeve grow closer, they both sense that they haven't been completely forthcoming about their pasts.
When Maeve realizes Gage might be planning to propose, she knows she must finally be honest with everyone she holds dear. She can no longer live with the secret she's been dragging around like an anchor, and she knows the only way she will be free to build a lifetime relationship with Gage is to risk everything-including his (and her family's) love and respect. Before she finds the courage, however, her past comes careening into her life in a shocking and unexpected way.

Editorial Reviews
"Promises to Keep is comfort reading for sure but it's a story with an important message too. This particular story deals with regret, missed opportunities, forgiveness, acceptance and inclusion. I thoroughly enjoyed it and can't wait for her next book." -- Book Chatter
"Book two in the Savannah Skies Series by Nan Rossiter has given us a superb continuation of the life and times of the Lindstrom sisters. Promises To Keep is filled with love, faith, family, and kindness. Adding in the rambunctious antics of a loveable pup and well, you have a sweet read perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon. " -- KT Book Reviews
"PROMISES TO KEEP, Book Two in the Savannah Skies series, is a heartwarming story about love, loss, faith, family, and forgiveness--Highly Recommend!" -- D.K. Hundt
"With Promises to Keep Nan Rossiter continues the tale of the Lindstrom sisters that began with Promises Of the Heart. That was Macey's story. Now it's Maeve's turn. Maeve is a lovely, compassionate woman who is in love with Gage, a man she can see a future with. Gage is a sensitive, artistic man and he loves Maeve. Sounds like a match made in heaven, right? These two are in their mid30s and have secrets that have a hold on them. When the secrets become known they'll find out if they can be strong enough for each other. Promises to Keep is all that and more. There are family dynamics, end of life situations, and dreams to pursue. I related to several issues in this book. If that sounds like your kind of novel I recommend you pick up a copy today. I loved it." -- Bookfan

I'm a big fan of Nan's books and my daughter has read through them all twice. Never disappointed in her story telling. I would love to see her stories come to life! Love her children's books too.
