Promises is about what happens when the perfect family is torn apart by betrayal and lies. I thought it was well written and felt it was easy to imagine the scenes the author wrote. It made me either really like or really dislike the characters. A good book all around.

Promises-between lovers, husbands and wives, friends and family members- are at the heart of Belva Plain's stunning story of passion and betrayal, of dreams shattered and reborn by the awesome power of hope and love. A good story.

"An emotionally compelling novel."

With her three children, beautiful home, and loving husband, Margaret Crane is a woman others would envy. Adam's job has cushioned them nicely over the years. It should be a time of contentment, rewards, of new challenges together. But lately Adam has been working too late, too hard, at the office. Margaret is sure it's just the rumored takeover of his company--until she meets Randi, The Other Woman...

Meanwhile, Nina, the orphaned cousin the Cranes raised as their own daughter, is reveling in New York, dating Keith, an investment banker. But Keith has a secret he has not shared with Nina. All he asks for is time...and patience. As Nina clings to stolen weekends with Keith, Margaret tries to ignore warning signs of her own failing marriage. A rift has developed between the two women who have loved each other as mother, daughter, friends. Keith is not welcome in Margaret's home. And Nina herself has become the other woman...
