Ms. Anna, guided by supernatural forces, prepares to keep her promise to her alien friends to help them destroy the Mocoba beings that have taken over their world. There are, however, challenges on her own planet that she must first face. The alien and its thirteen eyes that have been guiding her life, unknown to her, are helping her meet those challenges so that she can hurry and leave with them. Having no understanding of the norms and morals of her world, they make a roller coaster of dangerous twists and turns that may very well end her life before she is able to become the promise keeper. The authors book, The Promise Keeper, found me open to receive and learn from the many lessons of life she brings to the reader (Bishop M. Gallaher). Helen Collier weaves science fiction and social reality into one hell of a story. Her heroine, Ms. Anna, takes us to worlds beyond our planet, moving readers toward an understanding of how race hatred and violence can destroy that which we love if we cannot find a way to live in solidarity (Guerry Hoddersen, author of One Hemisphere, Indivisible Permanent Revolution, and Neoliberalism in the Americas). Helen Collier resides in Auburn Washington. She writes science fiction, mystery, and fantasy. Shes a member of the Northwest Writers Association, African American Writers Alliance, and the Renton Writers Critic Group. She believes that a ride on her roller coaster of life is a lot more fun than living it.
