After the death of his parents in North Carolina, a short, but invaluable time with a Virginia family, and a year working in Pittsburgh, John Solomon makes his way to Rutherford, New Jersey. With some guidance, he musters the nerve to strike up a conversation with Mary Beacon, an Irish born young woman whose life was shattered by the economic disasters of 1929. Despite heart-wrenching tragedy and great distance, Mary and John forge a bond capable of combating the evil that destroys most people. This bond will, however, be ripped to shreds and rebuilt to a level some consider unfathomable. Through an intimate journey into the lives of one family, You Promised to Come Home offers a captivating experience that sparks a plethora of emotions and offers hope to anyone scarred by mankind's creations.
