The Promised PlanThe Promised Plan by Sharon Hughson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The Promised Plan is a few very short stories and poems by Sharon Hughson. It is an intriguing and heartfelt journey through death and loss, relationships. It’s every mothers wish for all her children to get along but being a realist you know that with very different personalities that it is not always the case.
One mother’s dying wish and last-ditch effort to reunite her family doesn’t go ahead as planned when her time comes up.
There is heartache and heartbreak, pain and sorrow, angst and hope, guilt and grief, redemption and reconciliation, secrets and lies, forgiveness.
Losing a mother will either make or break sibling relationships and often comes with the guilt of things left unsaid, things you wished you had done and the wish for things to be better.
Will they follow through and make one woman ’s final wish come together, or will the secrets and guilt keep them from mending boundaries?
The story is well written, and Sharon makes the characters feel real. It is easy to get lost in the story and feel their emotions.
Travel along with three women who struggle to open themselves up and regain what once was. You won’t be disappointed.
