PASADENA PROMISES
By Rachel Druten

The Healing Heart
Against The Tide
He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not
ISBN 1-59789-364-1

With World War II as the backdrop, these three separate yet intertwining stories enlighten the reader with a cross-section view of lives caught up in the turmoil of war. They are realistic and heart-breaking tales sewn together with a constant thread of hope and the healing power of God's
restorative love.

In THE HEALING HEART, Rebecca Spaneas and her young son, Davy, find their lives tangled up with cold-hearted Courtney Fielding much against their wills. A story of gentle love that finds it's way through the stone corridors of a mansion and a man's heart.

AGAINST THE TIDE gives a glimpse into the personal lives, losses, and the heroics of the war. It is a historic narrative that brings to light the struggles of Japanese Americans and the misunderstood sufferings of the nation's conscientious objectors. Claire Middlebrook and Daniel Essex III find their love and future plans all but destroyed when Claire discovers
that Daniel is opposed to fighting even though his best friend and Claire's brother is engaged in combat on the front lines. It is a story of family
strength, redemption, and the forgiveness that true understanding brings.

In HE LOVES ME, HE LOVES ME NOT we pick up the continuing story of Courtney Fielding, his sister, Daisy, and their long time friend, Reverend Jack
McCutcheon. Attempting to prove her maturity to Jack, Daisy takes on the job of teaching a group of misfit teenage girls a thing or two about Christian service. She soon finds herself in over her head and feeling more than friendship toward Jack. Can love find a way to unite the hearts of two very different friends?

These stories are a joy to read with well-developed plots and endearing characters who share a deep faith in God.
