Promises to Zion #5
Promises Fulfilled
Sometimes you have to let go of what you’ve always wanted to receive what you never could have imagined.
A year and a half ago Paige Morganson’s world went sideways. Within the span of a few months, she learned that everything she’d been told about her life was a lie. Still, she was able to bounce back and forgive those who deceived her with the love of a good man and constant communication with God. Then her world turned upside down. Will she be able to let go of her lost dreams in time to notice the one person standing in the wings?
Mason Jenson has reunited with the one love he can’t do without – God – and he is happier than he has ever been. He has the admiration of his daughter, letters from a most unlikely friend and just maybe a chance to have it all.
Victoria Blanchett has been struggling for years to put the pieces of her family back together. With her husband, Richard by her side and God in her heart she may finally realize her dream.
The closer they all get to one another, the closer they get to discovering the decades-old secret that binds them and has the power to bring them to their knees.
***This is the fifth book in the Promises to Zion series. Since it is a continuation of the story you will want to read the books in this series in order.

The Promises to Zion series have been very poignant for me and this last one was no different. To finally hear where Grace came from why she is how she is ,when we have been wondering all this time why she was such a monster helped me empathize with her - just a little bit. Continuing the journey with Paige and her family, the ups and downs - the surprises and how it all finally comes together unleashed a roller-coast of emotions throughout my read. I really loved this amazing story of forgiveness, hope and love. Above all God's grace - God's faithfulness that is clearly outlined in this story - just blew my mind away.

Listen up, people! If I could shout, so you could hear I would— this book is absolutely amazing!
I had to put the book down as life’s distractions took me away, but had to pick it up again and again, then finally I gave in and spent a weekend reading this story non-stop.
I was enthralled with Grace’s life and actually felt sorry for her and finally understood her pain and why her actions turned to hate over the love of a man who chose his wife over her.
I was shocked at what transpired, and wanted so much for Luca Sable to do right by her.
Helena Sable – I’m shaking my head in disgust! That’s all I have to say about her!
My heart still aches from, My Garment of Praise for Your Spirit of Heaviness. I miss Brandon and never got over his passing, but his presence was very much evident in this story. I was reduced to tears—I’m still hurting...
Paige received some shockers! Wow, Traci Wooden-Carlisle, you know how to write a story! I was astounded. The suspense, intrigue, secrets and lies that unfolded had me biting my fingernails terrified at what might happen.
Victoria and Richard had some profound moments, it touched my heart, their love for each other so sweet and tender. They have gone through so much together.
There were some exciting surprises though! Brian and B.J., they had my heart racing. I want to know more about them.
Mason as always has my heart. Will he finally be with the love he has waited so long for? I won’t spoil it for you. Download this book today! It is exceptional, you will not regret it.
I had a wonderful time reading this story, I was totally drawn in. It was so profound, powerful and spiritually uplifting! A wonderful experience – Thank you Traci Wooden-Carlisle.

Deep and complex family drama and trauma. A very worthy series to read if you like romance, and intrigue, and mystery. Author delivered multiple sub genres in the lengthy family drama. Think of it like a television docudrama or extended miniseries. The author is sharp on providing you necessary details for a ring side seat into the daily and family lives of these characters. I wanted to be in denial that the story was just too much of a stretch and then I remembered my paternal lineage and it includes ugly genealogy back to the 1800’s, and each succeeding generation played some part in continuing ugly family paternity. I’ve read all four books, and have no regret- because not every bad or ugly story ends unhappily. Paige Morganson Tatum is a major character and you will absolutely just love this young lady and her girls. They are just little angelic jewels. From the series, I got my preferred happy ending for a few characters…but you must journey on their journey with them to celebrate their victory.
Kudos to the author for her ability to weave such a complex story, maintain reader engagement, and deal with the protagonist and the antagonist and make you happy-glad at the conclusion of the matter!

Me Wooten-Carisle finished this Zion series with the " Promises Fulfilled", ! 😊 Book 4 , was amazing read! Also, got Brenda/Grace's story in, just sad that she had so much pain she couldn't forgive. She cause more pain with her vengeance, and not until the end of her life was she able to accept God and give her girls the hope of seeing her again in Heaven! I'm sad that Helena feeling so betrayed she took her vengeance out on Brenda and not Luca ( with physical pain), I know it's was "Mob family" related! And, for Angelo Mauro to carry out such violent attack on a woman, what did he owe Helena? Yes, the men and Helena had reqrets for the mistake/sin they all caused. Luca, kept his family safe and together and after more than 30 years, this terrible wrong showed forgiveness through Brenda/Grace's child, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Only the love of God could gotten them through! Must read the series!

The bitter taste of revenge and the sweetness of God’s love!
The plots are all coming together in this final book of the Promises to Zion series. Paige has gained her two daughters and more family but lost Brandon leaving her grief-stricken and angry. The backstory of Grace’s vengeful and evil attitude is revealed and the family tree is beginning to fill out in surprising, and sometimes frightening directions. I like all the characters, even the ones still intent on resisting God.
There is a lot of emotional action going on in this book and some surprising twists. My copy of the book was free, but my review is honest and voluntary. Traci Wooden-Carlisle has wrapped up this fascinating series, that I have totally enjoyed, with a happy ending.

Faith building read
I knew from the first book of the series I wouldn't be satisfied until I finished the complete series. There was so much substance that it captured my interest and never let go. I loved the way the characters continued to interact with each other and brought to a fabulous conclusion. This book deals with a lot of the realities Christians face but are often not talked about. It was real and profound and life changing!

Amazing series
This series has been awesome! I love reading books that keep surprising me and this series did. So many times I was shocked but I also laughed and cried. I was also inspired and encouraged by the spiritual aspect throughout these books. I enjoyed this so much that I'm reluctant to say goodbye. I just might have to read the series again! Lol. Thank you Ms. Wooden-Carlisle for a wonderful literary experience.

A very good series to read
I have to admit I had trouble with the first boom but was still very interested to see how the second boom was. I was totally engrossed in the whole storyline and all the characters I couldn’t wait to get to the next ones. Thank you so much for writing such a beautiful story. Would definitely read more from this author. 🙏💕

Wonderful Godly filled Series
I’ve completely enjoyed reading this series. I highly recommend this book to be read and reread in order. This finale, book 5 answered so many questions, left hanging throughout each book. As I’ve previously stated, the best parts is always at the very end leaving you needing more!

What a Series
I admit to missing some sleep on this book, which was hard to put down.
This family went through so much. It was encouraging to see the themes of trust, redemption, and forgiveness woven through it. This series was both entertaining and faith-building.

Wonderful book which brought some new characters to the group. Traci does such a good job with making the characters seem so real. I love this series and wish I knew these people in my life - wouldn’t it be nice to know such godly people. I wish there were more writers like her.

Good Series
Usually a series of 3 books are my limit but I'm thankful for commenting to finishing this series. They were truly spiritual as well as intriguing. I would like to read more about Paige and Mason and the rest of the family.

Amazing
I hope there is more to come. There are so many other story lines. I wish I could read Mel’s story. All I can find is the sample.

Not enough
There are not enough books in this series. I would love to see if somethings really did happen. So many people had incomplete stories. It was a great book.
