The Promise of Home: A Mill River Novel

The Promise of Home: A Mill River Novel

Writing in the tradition of Jan Karon and Maeve Binchy, New York Times bestselling author Darcie Chan returns readers to Mill River, the charming town whose residents experience surprises and sorrows, witness acts of goodwill and kindness, embrace family love and friendshipâ€”and uncover age-old secrets and heartaches.
Â
These days, Mill River, Vermont is a hub of activity. Karen Cooper and her son bid a temporary farewell to husband and father Nick, off to Saudi Arabia to work as a contractor. But when he goes missing Karen turns to the beloved nonagenarian priest Father Oâ€™Brien for counsel. Kyle Hansen and Claudia Simon blissfully prepare for their weddingâ€”until a part of Kyleâ€™s past arrives in town and shakes up their solid romance. Emily DiSanti, still haunted by a tragedy that tore her world apart a decade ago, is renovating the old McAllister mansion, eager to restore it to its former beauty and to find peace in the intense workload. All of these livesâ€”and the lives of others in this sleepy small townâ€”move forward, bump up against one another, and intertwine. But when a cache of hidden letters is discovered, a decades-old secret comes to lightâ€”one that is rooted deeply in the childhood of the longtime resident who has touched the lives of everyone in town, and that will change his own life in a powerful and unexpected way.
