From critically acclaimed writer Sarah Armstrong, comes a novel that questions our individual responsibility for the children around us.

How far would you go to protect a child in danger?

When a new family moves in next door, it takes Anna just two days to realise something is very wrong. She can hear their five-year-old daughter Charlie crying, then sees injuries on the little girl which cannot be ignored. Anna reports the family to the police and social services but when no-one comes to Charlie's aid, Anna understands that she is alone with her fears for the child's life.

So when Charlie comes to her door asking for help, the only thing Anna can think to do is take the girl and run.

Raising delicate but deeply felt questions about our individual responsibility for the children around us, Promise is a novel that obliges the reader to ask: if Charlie were my neighbour, what would I do?

'Armstrong's prose is striking and clear; there is a tenderness to how her characters are portrayed.' - The Weekend Australian

'You can feel the weather, the damp of northern NSW, seep through the story just as a secret creates rot in a relationship.' - The Herald Sun

'Extraordinarily compelling ... To elaborate on Sarah Armstrong's seemingly simple plot would be to betray the book's deep, intertwining roots ... A tour de force.' - The Australian Women's Weekly
