The Pride Promise

For an East Texas football Lion King and lonely Princess Bride,

what will the end zone and The Pride Promise of one true love be: a

championship ring or wedding ring? Honor's glory or Grace's gain?

In a contemporary odyssey spanning twenty years, Honor Careson,

proud NFL quarterback, home-crowned Lion King, and exiled

preacher's son running from God, commitment, and home, trades

family and faith in Heaventon Hope--The Pride Land of East Texas--

for glory and gain, freedom and fame in Florida. As Honor

launches on a quest for a Super Bowl win and championship ring

before he's forty, he gets blindsided by fatherhood, then blitzed by

the adversities of life only to get setup for his greatest rival and

would-be princess bride, Grace Matthews, an aspiring ER pediatric

physician, who dreams of love and romance--a wedding ring, family,

home, and security--all before she turns forty.

But true love never fails, and on the Fourth of July--Independence

Day--Grace and Honor share their first kiss, which propels them

on a winding road of romance, playing out a love story tinged with

fear, uncertainty, and tragedy. As an adversary comes to steal, kill,

and destroy, their faith and love are tested to the limit. Will Honor

drop the ball, losing everything that really matters? Or will he find

his one true love, the real Pride Promise in a believer's life, and gain

more than he ever dreamed possible.
