River of Love – Paperback
Join Summer Darling, as she and cousin Lou navigate life-threatening peril, family secrets, blossoming romance, and the daunting trails of the Camino de Santiago.
Summer Darling is a not so typical American teenager, longing to return to Spain and walk another route of the famed Camino de Santiago, but when Covid hits and locks down the world, Summer’s Camino plans screech to a halt.
As Summer waits in frustration, she convinces her cousin Lou to join her when the world does reopen. Problem is Lou’s Mom, Tilly, who seems fixated on making Summer’s life a waking nightmare, and is convinced if they go, the sky will fall and crush Lou underneath.
But the girls are persuasive and in the Fall of 2022 they’re off for Portugal to have the adventure of their lives; until Lou gets seriously injured in an accident with a young bicyclist from the States. That’s when things get complicated. Summer starts to fall for the 20-something bike rider and it turns out Lou isn’t quite who Summer thought she was. Even Lou isn’t who Lou thought she was. And if Lou is to live, Tilly will have to open a vault of secrets she hasn’t accessed for eighteen years.
