Book Description
Research librarian Savannah Sanderson wants nothing more than to escape into her happily-ever-after novels with their larger-than-life fictional heroes. But a promise to her late husband has her attending her dreaded twenty-year high school reunion, drinking ghastly punch, and taking desperate measures just to keep her vow, even if she has to hide behind the décor to do it.
Once a reckless troublemaker, Michael McCann fled town after graduation. Now a professional technical rescuer, he’s back for the reunion, but on his trip down memory lane, he soon comes face to face with unresolved issues, namely Savannah.
Before the night is over, a pact between these two old friends will lead them on an adventure into uncharted emotional territory where Michael must confront his past regrets and find the courage to reveal the truth. But can Savannah fly from her sheltered nest and risk her heart on a real-life hero?
My thoughts:
A Promise to Keep is a fantastic and impressive debut novel. In the heart-stirring story of Savannah Sanders and Michael McCann who reconnect at their high school reunion., the author crafted characters who I genuinely loved. Savannah will break your heart as the widowed young woman who is only attending her 20th high school reunion to keep a promise she made to her dying husband. Savannah doesn't really want to be there, but a promise is a promise, right?
Luckily Michael is looking for an escape route, too but it involves his dear friend Savannah. This is where the laugh out loud moments begin. Michael is funny, kind, sweet and quite adventurous as Savannah soon discovers when they begin to spend time together.

It was great fun traveling with the characters but this book isn't all fun and games, it's an emotional read blended perfectly with action and a little drama. Ms. Teague penned a beautiful and heartfelt story with within the pages of this book. The emotions are real and powerful and the characters are ones that I will think of occasionally because they seemed so real to me. I look forward to more of this authors work and highly recommend this book.
