Lillian's life story is told by Rick Minerd, a retired chief of police. He tells a story that is wrapped around her own personal diary, one that was discovered amongst her belongings after her passing. The author approaches it from the perspective of a police officer, one who is trained to relate to the circumstances of spousal abuse and domestic violence. He draws knowledge of situations like Lillian's from his many years of seeing it on the job as well as up-close and personal outside of work. "Honey, I Promise!" and other stories like it are a problem that police officers everywhere must deal with on a daily basis. In Lillian's story the author places himself into her world and attempts to dissect her diary which leaves the reader begging for eventual justice and hopefully a happy ending. But does it ever come? Moreover, what, if any role does the author have in it?
