About this listen
Days after graduating from college, Betsabé Ruiz begins her first job on Wall Street, where she plans to save enough money to eventually pursue her dreams of becoming a theatre actress. What she didn’t anticipate was that this job would allow her barely enough free time to sleep or hang out with friends, let alone take acting classes. She didn’t apprehend the magnitude of the wealth that would be swirling about her, either, or how the long hours and close quarters would infuse her professional relationships with intimacy. Still, she does her best to navigate this uncharted territory at work, where she makes an unlikely best friend and develops an unexpected attraction to her boss.
Told in the retrospective as a letter to her unborn son, Daughter of a Promise is a coming-of-age tale in which a naïve Betsabé assumed leaving her past behind was the prerequisite for succeeding as an adult. The wisdom she ultimately passes on to her child, however, is steeped in the very traditions within which her grandmother raised her back in Miami.
A modern retelling of the legend of Bathsheba and David, this novel is a reminder that the biological forces of desire and love are timeless and complicated.

Another great story by Jeanne Blasberg. I am a fan of her other two books and eagerly awaited her newest. Again, it was a well researched novel, different than her other two. I started listening in my car, then spent the day listening in its entirety. It grabbed me and kept me captive. It is a novel that should be on everybody’s reading list.

Beautiful, poignant story
Loved that nothing was obvious, loved the exposure of different cultures, socio economic groups and most of all for the voices of wisdom that were shared, especially in the last few chapters
