HER LAST PROMISE

MY THOUGHTS:

The year is now 1963 and Hanni and Freddy have experienced so much loss resulting from the war.  Their relationship has suffered and they are in the midst of a divorce.  Hanni and Freddy discover that their twelve year old son Leo, and has been in touch with his grandfather Reinier. Leo begins to agree with the beliefs of his grandfather and ventures out on his own to meet his grandfather.  Hanni is shocked and very upset and puts her life on hold to rescue her son Leo from the dangerous grasp her father has on him.  Even in the midst of their separation, Hanni and Freddy come together  to save their son.  Hanni fears that her father will harm her son just like her sister.  At the same time Hanni continues to do everything she can to expose the horrible things her father has done.  

Her Last Promise written by author Catherine Hokin is the fourth book in the Hanni Winters Series.  This book was an amazing addition to such a phenomenal series.  I enjoyed this story so much and I cheered Hanni on to the very last page.  My heart was broken for her and the struggles she endured while I was amazed at her courage and unwavering love for her family.  My suggestion is to read the series from book one and follow Hanni’s footsteps all the way through her life.  This is definitely a favorite series for me, and one that I will recommend over and over again, I loved it.
