Sentence of Marriage (Promises to Keep Book 1) (English Edition) Formato Kindle
Amy knew her father meant it. She could say no if she wanted. But this marriage would make everything all right. They could put all the trouble she had caused behind them. Everyone would be happy again.
Everyone except her.
“Sentence of Marriage” is the first book in the three-volume “Promises to Keep”.
In nineteenth century New Zealand, there are few choices for a farm girl like Amy. Her life seems mapped out for her by the time she is twelve. Amy dreams of an exciting life in the world beyond her narrow boundaries. But it is the two people who come to the farm from outside the valley who change her life forever, and Amy learns the high cost of making the wrong choice.
"One of the best historical novels I’ve had the pleasure to read in years." - WorkingGirl Reviews.
"The story was captivating, the characters real, the dialogue crisp. I admit to having cried and laughed and even having wanted to murder a character and beat another one within an inch of his life — which is simply a testament to how well written these books are." - AmericanEditor.

Do not hesitate, you won't regret it. Have a nice read.

Yes it is sad, but it is told through a woman's eyes in a struggling environment where girls, especially those on farms from big families, were not highly prized except to keep house & make babies.
This is the story of a very young girl who has to grow up too fast, while trying to keep her family members happy.
She is forced into a marriage by her step mother after being forced to give her baby away.
This story has romance, betrayal, history and strength along with family allegiance, however misguided by today's standards.
It does get a happier ending but you have to read the entire series.
Will read them all again.


Compelled to buy another book. That alone tells you a great deal about the series and about Shayne Parkinson’s writing. How many truly compelling books do we find in a year? Not many.
Promises to Keep is compelling because it is so well written. The story is not unusual: a sweet hard working country girl falls in love with a smooth talking city man who deserts her when she becomes pregnant. To save her family from shame, she’s forced to give away her baby, and to marry an older man she doesn’t love.
How old is that plot? They say there are no new stories, but this surely must be one of the oldest stories ever told. But, let me tell you, it has never been told better than Shayne Parkinson tells it.
The story is set in New Zealand, beginning in 1881 and spanning about 25 years. Every scene is rich with historical detail and an unerring sense of place and time. There are dozens of characters, but I never got them mixed up because each person was so perfectly described and set apart with a distinct personality and story of their own.
Bottom line, Shayne Parkinson is now on my short list of favorite writers. She knows how to tell a good story.
BTW - in case you are wondering: this is my own unbiased opinion. I'm not acquainted with the author, the publisher or anyone connected with her.
