Michele Roberts was a successful attorney in Milwaukee when her family received the heartrending news that her father had only days to live.
He struggled for months with a debilitating illness that had recently been diagnosed as Lou Gehrig’s disease, and the family worked quickly to make sure he would spend the remainder of his life at home.
As her father stared out the window at his beloved fields, Michele, overwhelmed by grief and love for her dying father, made a life-changing promise: she would move back home and take care of the farm.
Terrified and grief-stricken, Michele exchanged her world of designer suits, courtrooms, and plush offices for rubber boots, cow manure, and a 2,300-pound bull. Her diverse social network of friends was replaced with a crew of octogenarians that met daily at a greasy diner. Unbeknownst to her, these foreign environments became unlikely settings for a spiritual journey that would see her face life-threatening danger, deep sorrow, and unbridled joy.
For fans of Mitch Albom, The Promise is a remarkable true story of one woman’s soul-stirring passage through grief that provided an unexpected and life-altering gift: peace.
Michele K. Roberts earned a law degree from the University of Minnesota and a bachelor of science degree in criminal justice from Pennsylvania State University.
She recently closed her law practice and moved to Pennsylvania to operate her father's farm after his death. In addition to a daily education in farming and the care of cattle, she enjoys target shooting, gardening, reading, and running.
Roberts currently lives on the farm with two dogs, five barn cats, a bull, two cows, several groundhogs, two opossums, and an occasional skunk.
