A Sister's Promise

I had downloaded this book to my Kindle six months ago but had never gotten around to reading it. Always had something that seemed more interesting to me at the time to read. A few days ago I decided to start reading it and was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. I couldn't stop reading it. I loved the characters and story line. I enjoyed it so much I already downloaded the sequel, "What Happiness Looks Like". I won't wait as long to start reading this next one.

I was intrigued by this book from the moment I knew what the premise was. My favorite thing about this book is that it doesn't assume all women want to be mothers. Nor does it portray the main character, Kate, as the stereotypical cold-hearted, callous career woman. The main character struggles with the question of having children after making a life-changing promise to her sister. She weighs the pros and cons. She faces the same tough choices a lot of women face: career or children? Can I have both? And while she's trying to figure all this out, she finds herself pulled in different directions by the two people closest to her--her sister and her husband.

Kate's journey is always intriguing, sometimes humorous, and also heartwarming. The plot kept me guessing, and I loved the characters. Karen Lenfestey did an excellent job with this book.
