VICKI CHILDS

Davis Crest: Where the Past Shapes the Women

Who Call It Home

 

Three modern women searching for purpose.
Four pioneer women fighting for survival.
One mountain town built on secrets—and the choices that echo across generations.

​

Rebecca thought she knew exactly how her life would unfold… until one devastating moment sent her running home to Davis Crest. Now she’s a devoted mother, a small-town business owner, and a woman who has taught herself to stop hoping for more.

Megan dreams of a life bigger than her classroom, even if she’s convinced herself she should be satisfied with the one she has.

Katherine hides inside her bookstore and the stories she loves, afraid to face the truth of who she is—and who she might become.

Everything changes the day Rebecca opens a weathered journal.

Inside is the untold story of the Davis sisters—four extraordinary women who, in 1853, defied the brutality of the Gold Rush to build a life, a home, and a town where they could finally belong.

​

Their courage built Davis Crest.
Their sacrifices shaped its future.
And their secrets may hold the answers Rebecca and her friends have been searching for.

​

Promises, the first book in the Davis Crest trilogy, weaves together two timelines, two sets of unforgettable women, and one powerful truth:

​

The life you want is rarely the one you’re handed—
but the one you’re brave enough to choose.

​

Fans of Kristin Hannah, Kate Morton, and Fiona Davis will fall in love with this sweeping story of friendship, resilience, legacy, and the fierce women who carve their own paths.
