. . . Three spirited women. One perilous past. And an unlikely heroine.
Miracles abound in
Sugar Creek, a small-town nestled near the horse trails and hazelnut orchards
of Oregon’s lush countryside. It is here, where twenty-six-year old Gemma
Porter lives a vibrant life chasing her dreams. But Gemma is underestimated by
a world that pigeonholes her as “intellectually disabled.”
While the
naysayers and bullies only see Gemma’s limitations, her beloved grandmother
sees the heart of a genius—and a soul of divination. When Gemma’s longing to be
a mother collides with her grandmother’s hidden past, three generations of
Porter women are put in peril.
A harrowing
adventure unfolds into a heroic quest to save their lives. As Gemma’s bravery
is tested, she will need to prove that regardless of age or intellect, a
mother’s love knows no bounds.
Our Review: Rarely
have we read a book which brought us to our feet, cheering for three very
different, extremely brave characters. Each faces their own individual
challenges—for different though valid reasons. Each stands on their own and the
reader is better for knowing them. This is a truly exceptional book.
Based on a scale of 1-5, A River for Gemma
deserves an 8.
