A Father's Promise

A FATHER'S PROMISE When architect Edwin James Everard loses his beloved wife during childbirth, he's left to raise their newborn son Daniel alone—shattered, grieving, and unsure how to move forward. Over the next seven years, Edwin rebuilds a quiet life around his son, clinging to routine and the fragile joy Daniel brings. But when Daniel is diagnosed with terminal leukemia, Edwin faces the unbearable loss of the only light left in his world. In Daniel's final moments, he makes a mysterious promise to his father: "I'll come back to you. Not just me—I'll bring my sister too." Thus begins a journey of profound descent, as Edwin spirals into addiction, homelessness, and despair, haunted by dreams of his son and an unknown girl who feels strangely familiar. Redemption seems impossible—until a chance encounter with Grace, a woman carrying her own quiet wounds, offers Edwin the first spark of hope he's felt in years. Spanning over two decades, A Father's Promise is a soul-stirring exploration of grief, grace, and the mysterious ways love endures. Blending emotional realism with spiritual mystery, the novel weaves themes of parenthood, recovery, reincarnation, and the unbreakable bonds that defy even death itself. Heartbreaking and ultimately uplifting, this is a story for anyone who has loved deeply, lost painfully, and still dares to believe in miracles.
