Dear Pollux, My sister was supposed to write you, but she flaked out, so I’m writing to say someone is thinking of you out here. I don’t know what you did—or anything about you, to tell the truth. That’s okay. We can still be pen pals. I hope this finds you well. Be safe. Bexley From the first letter she writes, Bexley is the only ray of light in Pollux’s slate gray life. He hasn’t seen her, but with every word they exchange, he knows. She is his, and somehow soon, he’s going to have her in his arms and keep her there. Even the prison bars he’s behind won’t stop him. With every letter he writes her, he’s penning promises between the lines. Promises he will keep, even if he has to die trying.

Polly knows she's strong and capable. But whenever she offers to help her uncle or brother or neighbor, they tell her: "That's not what girls do." Then one day, Polly goes to a rally to meet a woman who's running for president, and they make a pinkie promise to remember all the things that girls do. Polly carries that promise with her at school, onto the soccer field, and even into an election for Class President! This inspiring story will encourage young readers to dream big. Godwin Books

Reading through the book of Psalms is like going through one of God's jewelry drawers. The Psalms paint a true picture of all human emotions--from sadness, anger, fear, longing, and confusion, to praying, resting, rejoicing, singing, and laughing. They offer God's help and blessings for any and every situation and emotion of life. In the lovely pages of Beautifully Pinned Promises, a woman will discover truths of God that will poignantly touch her heart and provide her with promises to hold on to and call her own.

A parent promises to love and care for a child in every situation.
