The Christmas promise / Richard Paul Evans. Large print edition. Waterville, ME : Thorndike Press, a part of Gale, a Cengage Company, 2021. ©2021. 373 pages (large print) ; 23 cm. For her high school graduation, Richelle Bach's father gives her and her identical twin sister, Michelle, matching opal necklaces. "These opals look identical," he tells them, "but the fire inside each is completely unique--just like the two of you." The two sisters couldn't be more different, and their paths diverge as they embark on adulthood. Years pass, until--at their father's behest--they both come home for Christmas. What happens then forever damages their relationship, and Richelle vows never to see or speak to her sister again. Painfully alone and broken, Richelle has one last dream: to be an author. It's not until she meets a man who harbors his own loss, that a secret promise is revealed, and Richelle learns that the story she's writing is not about her sister, but about herself. 20211227.
