About the Book Book Title: A Promise Forged Author: Cara Putman Genre: World War 2 Romance Release date: Originally released in 2010, Re-released in 2017 Kat transformed in front of him. Her chin came up, her fingers stopped twitching with the fabric of her gown, and a real sparkle bubbled in her eyes. It was like watching Snow White come to life when the prince kissed her. A heartwarming WWII historical from award-winning author Cara Putman: Kat Miller has dreamed of playing baseball her entire life. When she earns a spot on a team in the All-American Girls Professional Softball League, she finds that things aren’t as glamorous as she imagined. She struggles with long road trips, grueling practices, and older teammates who are jealous of her success. And to top it all off, an irritating reporter is constantly getting under Kat’s skin. Events in Jack Raymond’s career have left him cynical and distanced from God. He never wanted to write at a small paper, and he certainly didn’t want to be assigned to something as inconsequential as a women’s softball team. Then Kat walks into his life. The fiery, young softball player somehow climbs the walls around his heart and makes him want to hope again. When lies fly and the league appears to fail, will Kat and Jack’s new love survive?

The rest, as they say, was history. There she met a fellow Indiana writer Colleen Coble. With prompting from her husband, Cara shared her dream with Colleen. Since those infamous words, Cara’s been writing award-winning books. She is currently working on book 30 and 31. Cara Putman is an active member of ACFW, and currently serves on its Executive Board. She has also been the Indiana ACFW chapter president and served as the Area Coordinator for Indiana. Cara is also an attorney, lecturer at a Big Ten university, active in women’s ministry, and all around crazy woman. Crazy about God, her husband and her kids that is. She graduated with honors from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (Go Huskers!) and George Mason Law School, and Krannert School of Management.

I have not read the two books prior to this one, but I still enjoyed this story. If you are a fan of baseball then you will probably really like this one. Kat is one of the main characters and probably my favorite. She is young and strong in her faith. Some of her team mates were not very nice to her at times . I felt sorry for these ladies and the way that they wanted them to "act" like a lady and even their outfits for playing ball were ridiculous. But if they wanted this chance they had to go along with all the rules. Times sure have changed alot. I enjoyed this story from the beginning. It did a good job of drawing me in and getting me hooked. Disclaimer: I was given a complimentary copy of this book but all thoughts and opinions are my own honest ones.
