About The Promise by Anne Jean Michele:
Anger, bitterness and selfishness seem in control and must surely win. Condemnation must command. Yet does it? Amidst difficulties that should bring down even the strongest, occasional gut-busting laughter slivers through. Is the promise even possible? A love-story, shaky, yet deeply satisfying. Shock that will rock the soul. Amazing how a hideous tragedy that elicits tears of anguish can take your breath away in incredible beauty. Life.

Author Bio:
I received my master’s degree in Management of Computer Information Systems from California State University, Sacramento and live in Sequim WA with family.
Why did I write “The Promise”? When our children were small, our house was the gathering place for neighboring children to play. When the girls were in their teens, our house was a safe place for their friends who for some reason needed a place to stay. Although our daughters did not experience the events in this book, I knew or heard about so many who did, and the emotions were heartbreaking. I often thought ‘why doesn’t someone write a story that helps to open the eyes of young adults struggling with life decisions, something that shows God’s love, free of human condemnation… a story that could apply to anyone, young or old, regardless of the mistakes made in life. I never expected that someone to be me, however I could not get the thoughts out of my mind until I finally gave in and began to write. Could this have been God’s gentle push? I think so, and was able to finally release all those years of compassion and heartache into this book.
My hope in writing this book is to give readers pause to think, really think, about God’s master plan. Every person is important; YOU are important to God. No mistake is beyond the reach of God’s love and grace. Open your eyes to trust in God…there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and that light is Christ.
