The Future She Left Behind

2017 American Book Fest Award-Winner

Praise for The Future She Left Behind

“A deeply emotional story about family ties, second chances, and the pleasures of taking life one day at a time. Beautiful.”—Jane Porter, USA Today bestselling author of It’s You

“Characters who feel like neighbors, a quirky small-town setting, a snooty mother-in-law, a heroine coming into her own and a smokin’-hot leading man are ideal ingredients for a story that readers will find difficult to put down. A book-club worthy reminder that family can be found in unexpected places.”—RT Book Reviews (starred review)

“With engaging characters and a fast-moving plot, this latest from Thomas…will please fans of women’s fiction with family drama and transformation.”—Library Journal


Praise for The Promise of Forgiveness

“There’s a big promise in this book: love, redemption, and a story so gripping I couldn’t put it down.”—Debbie Macomber, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Silver Linings

“A compelling story of forgiveness with a warm heart at its center. You won’t want to put it down!”—Joan Johnston, New York Times bestselling author of Shameless

“Resonates with the power of redemption and absolution while exploring the idea of choosing your own family. A complex novel that examines the mother-daughter bond and the lengths a person will go to to be forgiven.”—Kate Moretti, New York Times bestselling author of Thought I Knew You

“A heartfelt novel of mysteries hidden in lonely hearts. Marin Thomas gives us characters that jump off the page, people we root for and who dare to reach for love. A keeper!”—Curtiss Ann Matlock, USA Today bestselling author of Love in a Small Town

“The Promise of Forgiveness takes a heartfelt look at the complexities inherent in familial relationships. It’s authentic and poignant, and will have you turning pages well past bedtime.”—Emily Liebert, author of Some Women
