Keeley was married just three weeks before her husband Mark's helicopter was shot down in Vietnam and he was classified as an MIA 12 years earlier. She has remained faithful over the years. As she prepares to meet with Congress to fight for the right to maintain his MIA status to continue receiving his military salary which pays for the care of his elderly parents, she meets and falls for a sexy congressman. As she struggles with the guilt to love on without Mark and forge a new relationship with Dax, she finds herself in a catch 22 when there is a possibility that Mark is among the group of POW's that have emerged out of the jungle.

Because it was written early in Brown's career, character development takes a backseat to the romance itself. But this, emotional drama plays out like a well-scripted movie of the week, and has readers wondering who they will root for.

This is one of my favorite Sandra Brown books. It is a very fast read-I read it in less than one day. Keely is a woman whose husband has been MIA for 12 years. On the way to a PROOF convention, she meets Congressman Dax. This has a very interesting, real plot that keeps your attention from the first chapter. Definitely a great summer read!!

I read this book several years ago and had forgotten. While I was reading, I felt like I was revisiting some old friends. The wife (Keely) of a MIA who after only weeks of marriage loses her husband for 12 years. For 12 years, she is loyal to her husband but discovers she's a woman with woman needs to be loved and cherished. No longer a child bride. She meets Dax, a congressman on the way up the political ladder. They fall in love and try to fight their attraction. In the end there is always a happy ending for Ms. Howard. I fell in love with Keely's best friend Nicole what a character. Once you finish reading this book you'll wish you had a good friend like Nicole.

The story is about a woman whose husband has been missing in action for 12 years. She works hard to convince the government to continue giving the wives of MIA's support. On one of her trips to Washington DC, she meets a congressmen and the two become involved. Then some MIA's return, and she must face wether her husband is one of them or not. This is a good book, with plot twists and turns.

Once again, S. Brown has turned out another outstanding read! Keely Preston has held tight to the thought, and the hope, that her husband will return to her after being list Missing in Action in Vietnam. Dax Deveraux is a U.S. Congressman assigned to the congressional hearing reguarding groups of MIA's. When the two meet onboard an airline in route to Washington D.C, something happens that Keely isn't able to understand. Attraction to another man while still in such hopes that her husband remains alive and is returning home is confusing to her. Can Keely overcome these feelings? This book is a favorite of mine; one that I have read several times. Ms. Brown acheives grabbing your attention from the first page to the very last. A true Romance!

Great Book. My heart goes out to Keely. She lost her husband 12 years ago, MIA, and remained dedicated to him all that time. She put her heart and soul into helping other survivors with loved ones missing in action. Keely is so inspiring. When she meets Dax, what can I say, true love. This was a wonderul story about a young bride mourning the loss of her husband or wondering will she ever see him again, meets a wonderful man, who also helps her in her search, proves his true love to her and enormous support wihout stepping over the line. Keely finds out what she need to know for 12 years and can finally move on with her life. This story was written so well, that you felt like the characters were somone you know personally. Great job Sandra! This is a must read book, don't pass this one up.

Love brings you happinese or grief? Tomorrow's Promise by Sandra Brown is one of the good books I've ever read. I like it because it keeps me to read on to find out what happen to Keely at the last. Keely has waited for her husband to come back for 12 years without knowing whether she's a widow or still married. After 12 years of waiting, she meets another man she loves. She doesn't know what to do. What would happen if she goes together with the man she loves now and her husband if her husband comes back in one day. This keeps bothering Keely of what she do is right for her. It's also why I want to read on to find out the answers to Keely's questions. It's an interesting book to read.

This is one of Sandra Brown best of the reissue. Even though predictable you will know what happens in the novel. You will love it anyway. Make it part of your library.

It wasn't the worst that I've read, but it was also far from the best.

In this lame attempt to play off the tales of MIA/POWs, readers are introduced to Keeley Preston whose husband, Mark, has been missing for many years. Keeley has remained faithful for all those years in hopes that Mark is still alive and to fight to maintain his military pay that, in turn, pays for his elderly parents medical costs. She is the leader of a small but determined group of women who are scheduled to argue against declaring their husbands dead by the government in front of a special committee.

And it is in flight to this committee meeting that Keeley meets a handsome stranger and falls in love. Yet she is torn between her hopes and intense guilt and the strong feelings she has for this man who just "happened" into her life. Just when she is at the apex of her emotional struggle, she gets "the" call...a group of soldiers have wondered out of the jungle. Is Mark among them?

If you read romance frequently, you can probably guess the end. If you can't, then pick it up and read it; but do so when there isn't much else to do or anything else to read.

What an exceptional book! I truly loved it! It really moved me with the war and everything going on in Iraq these days. Keely Preston being married for 12 years, not knowing if her husband is dead or alive, a helicopter pilot with the armed forces. He is MIA and she works on this committe called PROOF. She is trying to let congress know too keep the MIA's and the money to their families continuing until they find out legally if they are dead. That's when she meets up with Dax a congressman, he helps her and supports her and they both fall in love.
One of Sandra Brown's awesome books! Great read for anytime.
