Shantell Woods is haunted by her nightmares but is still devoted to counseling women every day at a local clinic. When she is asked to facilitate a grief support group, Shantell reluctantly accepts; she has a dark secret buried deeper within herself. Sara Proctor joins the support group knowing she has been successful in every aspect of her life except one. Once married to the man of her dreams, she longs to have a child. But she has just uncovered her late husband’s infidelity, sending her down a heartbreaking path that challenges her faith and everything she has ever known. Meanwhile, Autumn Green, who is battling breast cancer and grief over recently losing her parents in a car crash, is pregnant.

Promise Fulfilled is the poignant story of three women dealing with love, loss, and betrayal who must learn to find hope in their faith and each other as they each embark on a journey of self-discovery.
