Ann Tatlock
Christy Award winner Ann Tatlock is a top name in inspirational fiction. In Promises to Keep, 11-year-old Rosalind finds 70-year-old Tillie on her front porch - again. Wanting to die in the place where she lived for half a century, Tillie continues leaving her senior living complex and finding her way “home.” Annoyed at first, Rosalind’s mother finally lets Tilly live with them. And when danger nears, Tillie selflessly determines to protect the family she has adopted as her own.

Would you listen to Promises to Keep again? Why?
Yes. I read this book in print and enjoyed it. The narration was OK, but Tatlock can weave a coming-of-age tale with longing and hope in such a way that a so-so narration doesn't destroy it.What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
Her narrative passages were pretty good, but her dialogue was prety weak. Also, it's hard to listen to an older narrator try and play so many young characters.Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Both laugh and cry in spots.Any additional comments?
I am not a big Barbara Caruso fan, but this book stands up to her mediocre performance. It is a wonderful read, full of the hope and longing and denial of a young girl who is having to understand a grown-up world that she really doesn't want to know. Even placing this book in 1967-68 indicates the changing morres of a society whose youth wholeheartedly embrace change while the grown-up world wants to stay separate. Beautiful outing for Tatlock.Promises of longing and hope
