Rebecca Sutherland fell in love with her best friend, Jacob Walker in "The Promise". But before Jacob, there was Henry Olsen, a kind, gentle man who was twenty years her senior. She was only fourteen when she met Henry and much too young to even consider him as a mate. Nearly three years later, Rebecca's father dies of heart disease, and their good friend Henry is the logical one to help Owen's wife and daughter run the farm. Of course, it would be indecent if he were to simply move in without marrying Rebecca first. What starts out as a marriage of convenience quickly turns into an all-consuming love-until Henry's mysterious illness threatens to tear them apart.
I’m not sure this author had an editor. There are serious issues with grammar and punctuation, erroneous apostrophes, and the wrong form of “your”- and I didn’t even finish through chapter 5.
And that’s not getting into the issue of language and syntax- very modern speech for people to have lived 100 years ago.
I usually am forgiving for new authors or those who are self published, but this is just not well written.
