Summary of The Day Our Promise Breaks

Evelyn's life unravels as her daughter, Charlie, battles kidney failure. Charlie's final wish is heartbreakingly simple: to spend her birthday with her father, Charles, at an amusement park. Evelyn pleads with Charles to honor their daughter's wish, and he agrees.

But on her birthday, Charles never shows up. Charlie waits in the freezing cold until she collapses, coughing up blood. She later passes away, her final words questioning why her father loves another child more than her.

At her cremation, Evelyn, alone and devastated, bids farewell to her daughter. She places a pair of birthday hair clips she designed for Charlie in her daughter's hands and whispers a final goodbye. Her anguish deepens when news broadcasts show Charles celebrating the birthday of Sandy, his child with his first love, Dahlia, at a grand event.

The novel explores themes of betrayal, grief, and the unconditional love of a mother, as Evelyn seeks to cope with the loss of her daughter and the unbearable neglect from the man who broke their family’s promise.
