About this audiobook
In Verde Arzu's powerful second novel, Promise Keeper, Chandon Kilpatrick enters Franklin University, a historically Black college, with a quiet vow: to live life on her own terms-not her grandfather's, not the world's, just her own.
But one heated argument with Corey-the sharp-tongued president of the Black Student Union-goes viral, and Chandon is once again labeled the girl who isn't "Black enough."
Determined to reclaim her narrative, she joins the campus LGBTQ+ group and commits to a bold new cause: fighting to free two Black lesbian veterans imprisoned overseas. Her drive for justice is rivaled only by the complicated pull she feels toward two very different people-her loyal friend Alisha and her frenemy Corey.
