A family crisis forces her to confront what promises actually cost. She stumbles-public confrontations, a toppled ladder, a damaging blog post-but she also learns to ask for help, to negotiate, and to keep small promises that add up. Her old flaw-saying yes too quickly-becomes a new habit: deliberate, accountable action. The mural, the friendships, and Mara's future are shaped by choices that show how integrity is practiced, not proclaimed.\u003cbr\u003eMara promises a mural to her neighborhood, a bike lesson to her little brother, Nico, and loyalty to her friend Juno. When family hardship, school rumors, and bureaucratic obstacles collide, each promise becomes a test. Through public embarrassment, near-quit moments, and small acts of bravery, Mara learns to trade impulsive vows for disciplined commitments. The mural becomes a mirror: every brushstroke reveals a choice, and every setback a lesson. The result is not instant glory but a quieter, truer success-character that keeps its word.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Cong Phan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798247716204\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/10\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 44\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.11d","brand":"Cong Phan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49172192133375,"sku":"9798247716204","price":11.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/when-promises-learn-to-stay-cong-phan-9798247716204","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
