Reseña del libro "Poof: Promise on our Friendship (en Inglés)"
Promises. We have all made them. Some we honor and keep and others we forget and dismiss. However, a promise to your father is a promise of a different sort. One that should not be entered into lightly; especially when that promise has the potential to offer redemption. POOF (Promise On Our friendship), a childhood word created by a devoted father and shared with his only daughter becomes the catalyst that leads Samantha on a journey into her father's past and careening into her own future. Eric Allen, father and founder of the Allen Corporation, has lived a successful life. One of his biggest regrets in life is his failure to be there for his childhood friend, Raymond McDaniel, a man he once saw as a brother. Eric always imagined there would be time to correct his mistake but with time running out, he persuades his daughter, Samantha, to make a powerful promise created and shared only by the two of them. A POOF to find Raymond's son and to assist him in reaching his full potential. Samantha is jaded by love, not because of her own love story, but because of her parent's failed marriage. She has an estranged relationship with her mother, Tammy. Samantha feels ill equipped to carry out this final POOF for her father, when she learns that Jake McDaniel is drowning in debt in the small town of Bishop, North Carolina. Samantha sets off on a collision course with Jake, hoping to honor her POOF by changing his life for the better.Jake McDaniel thought he had it all; a successful job and a devoted girlfriend. But with the revelation of a betrayal, Jake packs up and secludes himself in Bishop, the town in which his father grew up. The owner of his own bar, Jake, finds himself sinking into debt and self-imposed solitude when Samantha appears. From the moment they meet, Jake is attracted to, but untrusting of Samantha and her motives. Despite Jake's misgivings, Samantha forges ahead and in the process, she wins Jake over. However, Samantha soon realizes that to save the bar, she must also embark on a quest to save Bishop, a town on the verge of an economic depression. What started out as a promise to her father soon becomes an undertaking that helps Samantha and Jake realize that love requires a leap of faith. For life is never simple, and oftentimes the situations that we find ourselves in today are the result of ripple effects from the past.
