A quick blurb about the book:
Hattie is
barely twelve when her pa’s “business adventures” disrupt her family and move
them to the new town of Tropic, nestled in the shadows of old Ebenezer Bryce’s
Canyon. Her pa views the town as opportunity. Hattie is hopelessly shy and
views it with apprehension; she dreads the task of making new friends. More
than anything else, Hattie wants to be like her father—not afraid of meeting
new people, talking to strangers, and standing up for herself. So it is with trepidation
that she accepts her pa’s challenge and promises to make new friends.
Hattie forms
more promises as she struggles to make friends, finding companionship in places
she wouldn’t have expected and learning that there is a difference between
complaining and standing up for oneself.
Promises is a heartwarming story of
friendship with a touch of mystery and adventure set in the days before Bryce
Canyon became a national park. Drawn from the memoirs of early Utah settlers,
it is a realistic glimpse into the past and a delightful story for readers ages
eight to eighty.
