A Greater Love
Miguel Silva is a street orphan who will do anything to avoid the wrath of his
alcoholic aunt and to keep his little sister Sara happy. He and Sara roam the
streets of Portugal, begging and stealing to feed and clothe themselves. A
sudden twist of fate throws them into an even colder world, where their only
chance for survival are Daniel and Cristina Andrade, who are childless by
choice.
Daniel Andrade has put his bitter past behind him and found a new life with
Cristina. But the past returns in force when Miguel steals his wallet on the
ferry, throwing into motion a series of unstoppable events. Daniel doesn’t want
to face the secrets of the past or open his heart to anyone—yet that is exactly
what he must do or face losing everything he loves.
Cristina Andrade also has secrets. Now she must choose between her husband and
the deep longing in her heart. Or is there a compromise? Only Miguel can help
them find the way—and time for Miguel is running out. Can the Savior’s love heal
them all before it’s too late?
What Others Are Saying
This book is the best. I couldn't put it down until I read it all.
—Caitlin Morrison of Spanish Fork, Utah
While I was reading A Greater Love, I cried because it was so heart-warming and the story is what is happening in real life...people should really read this book because it has a great message to it.
—JoElla Stringfellow of joseph, UT
A Greater Love provides a powerful glimpse into a world rarely seen from the comforts of our plush existence. Rachel opens our eyes, hearts, and souls to a more Christlike view of the plight of homeless children. I really enjoyed the story.
—Lynda M. Nelson, author of the best-selling book The Little Red Buckets

Author's Comments
This is a novel that is very dear to my heart. I lived for two years in Portugal
where A Greater Love is set and had the opportunity to briefly work with
impoverished children there. I love Portugal and her people, and am excited that
through this novel, you can also experience a little of the Portuguese culture
which is rich in taste and imagery.
I am continually amazed at what a great difference we can make in each other's
lives, and I wanted to write about that kind of a difference. I hope this will
be a novel that will stay in your hearts forever.
