When a promise kept
means a life is broken
‘A beautiful story…prepare to have your heart warmed and broken, to laugh and to cry.’
Natasha Lester
When a promise kept means a life is broken …
Tessa De Santis’s child-free marriage in inner-city Sydney is ordered and comfortable, and she likes it that way.
When tragedy strikes and her childhood friend Skye Whittaker dies, Tess is bound to honour a promise to become foster-mother to Skye’s ten-year-old daughter, Grace, changing her life irrevocably.
Leaving her husband and successful career behind, Tess travels to an isolated property where the realities of her friend’s life – and death – hit hard. The idyllic landscape and an unexpected form of therapy ease her fears, and her relationship with Grace begins to blossom.
But a secret from her earlier life with Skye refuses to remain hidden, and Tess is forced into a decision that will either right the wrongs of the past, or completely destroy her future.
Cross My Heart is a haunting story of guilt, redemption and friendship set in the beautiful central west of New South Wales.

‘I am not sure where to start, this book has left me speechless. It is a beautifully written story of true friendship that lasts forever even without seeing each other…don’t read this one without a box of tissues very handy.’
Helen Sibritt
‘Cross My Heart is the kind of story that grabs ahold of your feelings on the first page, and refuses to let go until the very last. I loved every word of this emotional and compelling story. Pamela Cook is a rare and extraordinary talent’
Kelly Rimmer
‘Cross My Heart is my first Pamela Cook book and I loved it. It dealt with confronting topics but is also a beautiful story of perseverance, love and friendship. I was hooked on this book right from the start and finished it within a day.’
