Family Secrets

Author Vanessa Craddock introduces readers to Bernadette Windsor in her novel, The Promise Box. Bernadette is a computer programmer in the United States Marine Corps. She has two siblings(Juanita and Danny) who died as teenagers and three surviving siblings. Bernadette receives a poem that mentions her deceased siblings with a postmark from her hometown Baltimore, Maryland. In the poem it mentions that the deaths of her siblings were not accidental and that someone will kill her and her surviving siblings. She returns to her hometown after receiving the poem. She begins her search for clues to find who sent her the poem before they have a chance to kill again. She starts out by going to her sister Beatrice's house for a visit. Beatrice has a new mysterious boyfriend, Witt, who Bernadette is set on knowing more about. When the skeletons start to come out of the closet, things may change for Bernadette and her family. She just may find out more than she bargained for. This story was well-written and at times suspenseful. The characters were well developed. I could not wait until the secrets were out. I must say that I did not imagine what the secrets could be. I would recommend this book to readers looking to read about family secrets. Reviewed by Phyllis Ann APOOO BookClub

The promise box

I thought it was a very good book. It kept you wondering what the end was going to be. I like the fact that the writer let you know in the beginning of the story that there was a "secret" in order for your to continue to read to find out what it was. I would recommend this book.

Her determination to find out the truth about her sister's death has Bernadette stirring up pots that are making some people very unhappy. With the intent to find out the real truth Bernadette learns a lot more about some people that she has known all her life. Is she ready to know the truth? In a time where DRAMA is topping our African American best seller lists how refreshing to read a thriller that is worthy of the highest accolades.
