The Story Behind This Book
I was writing Goldeneyes, and had run into a massive wall of writer's block. I heard about Nanowrimo, and thought maybe a break would be just the thing to help out. So I laid aside my work-in-progress and started writing, with absolutely no idea what I'd write about. No plan. No outline. No plot. Just a location...Yosemite National Park. From that, God helped me come up with THIS. I hope you love it!

"This story grabs your attention and doesn’t let go!" "The story moves along quickly as you wait to see how God will work things out for these two characters. Hannah’s steadfast faith, even laced with some natural doubt and human struggles, is wonderful to read. The romance that is revealed is warm and beautiful. This is just a superb story and I have added Ms. Latham to my “must read” author list! "

Ms. Latham captures the heart in this wonderful book. Emotions run high in this highly charged story. A story and characters which linger in your mind long after it is finished. It had interesting turns and twists I wasn't expecting. An original story I thoroughly enjoyed. It's rare for any book to touch me to such a level as Yesterday's Promise. Thank you. Delia Latham, for such a special story...

Yesterday’s Promise is a reunion love story, my favorite kind. Lovely readable style that captures you within the first few pages. I must comment on the flashback sequences. Most authors love to include these kinds of scenes and more often than not, they are unnecessary and slow down the flow of the story. The flashback scenes in this book were done with such poignancy and beauty that I couldn’t imagine the story without them. Very well done. This is the kind of book to curl up with and continue reading all afternoon. I absolutely loved it. The characters, the writing—all beautifully done. Such an emotional tale tenderly told. Tell your friends, tell your family. They will want to read this book.
