Fremont's Promise: Based on a True Story - Promise Kathryn Spurgeon

Family Drama in the late 1930s!
A family saga. A drama never told before.
When Sibyl visits her mother, she's criticized and shamed, leaving in tears each time. Only Fremont's assurance to move her away from the toxic family can calm her spirit. Not only does Sibyl's family reject her for marrying a penniless hobo, but they demean her for wanting another child, for her untidy house, and her faith. They criticize everything she believes in. Fremont determines to find a better-paying job and spirit his wife away from this unkind family. He wants a stable family, not a dysfunctional one. But will Sibyl agree to move? Her relationship with her family bounces from frustration to despair. Perhaps God wants them to stay in Shawnee. Perhaps not.
If you love family sagas and drama based on true stories, you will love this book.

This is another story that will stay with me for a very long time. Gail Hollingsworth, Promise Series Books
