“Some books you read. Some books you enjoy. But some books just swallow you up heart and soul.” Joann Harris
Pam’s Pick this week is: “Promise Not to Tell” by Jayne Ann Krentz, this is the story of Seattle gallery owner Virginia Troy. Virginia has spent years battling the demons that stem from her childhood time in a cult and the night a fire burned through the compound, killing her mother. Now one of her artists has taken her own life, but not before sending Virginia a last picture: a painting that makes Virginia doubt everything about her so-called suicide and her own past.
