Weaving True Stories With A Novel Twist
HEARTACHE OF PROMISE
Can a lost self ever be restored?
Rose-Marie Clarke lives in a culture of silence and perfectionism with an undertow of family secrets. In this dynamic, she fails to recognize her deep love for one man. She ignores her heart until she can no longer hear it and makes choices that can never be undone.
Failing to recognize the lie she is living, Rose-Marie strives to obtain love’s promise within a marriage with children, poverty, and a fledgling faith.
When her first love returns, Rose-Marie’s repressed emotions awaken, but fear arises. Is emotional honesty worth the risk of losing all she’s worked for? Does God have the answers to free her heart?

In the Sisters of Silence series, the voices of the three sisters are dedicated to encouraging others to emerge from the silence enforced by abusers.
A family’s dysfunction and culture of silence has left a unique impact on each of three sisters. God has also left His own unique impact, restoring each sister in a way designed for her alone.
Because breaking the silence is a first step toward restoration.
