I’ve never read a book by this author but definitely will again. I loved this lovely book and recommend it highly. Loved from start to finish.
I received a copy from NetGalley for my honest review. #NetGalley

What a tremendous story of loss and discovery. Ryleigh has much to overcome and Logan is an unexpected piece of the puzzle. I loved this storyline.

Ryleigh found an old leather journal, after her mom passed away and it left her with many questions. Reeling from a broken marriage of 20+ years and her son moving away for an internship, she finds herself needing answers. She got more than she bargained for and ended up falling in love again only to think it was gone. Ryleigh has a few days of adventures and soul searching.

Wow, the book's twist was interesting! Who wouldn't want a friend like hers that jumped on a plane when her friend was sad?
This is a voluntary review and I do not get paid for this review!

Susan Haught’s A Promise of Fireflies is a well-crafted book with some beautiful poems within the story. Ryleigh Collins’s story is one of self-realization, self-reliant and self-trusting. Her personal life has taken a huge hit with her cheating ex but it is the death of her mother that moves her forward as she searches for the truth of the diary found in her mother’s belonging.

Not always a cheerful read, I found Kyleigh’s journey to be pleasing in the end. I read somewhere that truth can be like surgery painful but that it can lead to healing. That is pretty much the experience of Kyleigh. The answers are not always easy or what was expected, causing more questions to arise. Still lies can lead to death; her marriage is a case in point. She is better for having the truth.

The plot is for the most part evenly paced though a few times with Kyleigh’s situation it wanted to bog down. However, there are subplots and interesting characters, past and present that keep this story rolling. While there is romance in this story, it is not early on. Fans of women’s fiction would enjoy this the most.
