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 is Daniel and Cristina Andrade.

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?

Editorial Reviews

Review

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

In many ways A Greater Love reminds me of Oliver Twist and David Copperfield. It is one of the few novels which have brought tears to my eyes. -- Kenneth R. Tarr, author of The Last Days Volume I: The Gathering Storm

A wonderful read. Rachel Ann Nunes is a truly gifted writer. If you care about love, enjoy being entertained, and want to be carried into a world of drama and inspiration you must read A Greater Love. -- James Michael Pratt, New York Times best-selling author of The Last Valentine

About the Author

Rachel Ann Nunes (pronounced noon-esh) knew she was going to be a writer since she was thirteen. She now writes five days a week in a home office with constant interruptions from her five young children. She enjoys traveling, camping, spending time with her family, and reading. She and her husband, TJ, and their children live in Utah, where she is a popular speaker for religious and writing groups.

Before writing this book, Rachel lived for two years in Portugal, where A Greater Love takes place. Part of this time, she served as a missionary for her church. I have seen the Lord work miracles in many hearts, she says, and I wanted to write about such a miracle. I feel that this story is one of the most important I have ever told.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Rachel Ann Nunes learned to read when she was four, beginning a lifetime fascination with the written word. She avidly devoured books then and still reads everything she can lay hands on, from children's stories to science articles. She began writing in the seventh grade and is now the author of over fifty published books.

Rachel and her husband, TJ, are the parents of three boys and four girls. Rachel loves camping with her family, traveling and meeting new people, and, of course, writing. As a stay-at-home mother of seven, it isn't easy to find time to write, but she will trade washing dishes or weeding the garden for an hour at the computer any day! Her only rule about writing is to never eat chocolate at the computer. "Since I love chocolate and writing," she jokes, "my family might never see me again." Rachel writes Monday through Friday in a home office, often with a child on her lap. She takes frequent breaks from writing to build Lego towers, practice reading, or go swimming with the kids.

5.0 out of 5 stars REALLY different for me
Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2013

One really good book. I'm really glad I didn't know this was an LDS author before I read it, or (I'm ashamed to say, and sorry Ms. Nunes) I might not have read it. But there's no mention of anything Mormon at all in the book so I'm delighted with the story.
This book will touch your heart, truly. Two young siblings whose mother died were taken in by their cruel drunkard of an aunt who lives in a makeshift shack in a horrible area near Lisbon, Portugal. Their way of making money is to beg or steal. It's a sad life, but the brother tries to keep his very young sister happy with his love and protection. His love for her is so very touching that, even though you know his stealing is wrong, you root him on because he does it to keep the 3 of them alive. He has a conscience about it, instilled by some missionaries... Perhaps those are LDS missionaries, but it's not mentioned.
God seems to be steering things for the children, and a married couple who had something stolen from them by Miguel (the brother).
Generally I read a totally different sort of book, but this was a great change, and worth the read. I whole-heartledly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A hard but beautiful story told by an excellent writer
Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2012

This book should be read by everyone. That is a cliche that many reviewers post. However, in this case, it would help to reach into the hearts of those who are feeling that they have no purpose in life or are less than they could be. It is not an easy book to read. It tells of the lives of two orphans living on the streets in Portugal. It tells of their hardships, their reliance on the public for coins and food, their cold and hunger and their ultimate rescue from that life. We learn of the nativity and singing of carols that warms the hearts of all who see and feel the spirit. And, we see transformation and a new awareness in the lives of those who are ashamed of previous life choices. Rachel Nunes is a gifted writer. Thank you for the inspiration.

Riveting story of two orphan kids working hard to survive on the streets of Portugal and an embittered man whose marriage is unraveling because he is unwilling to bring children into a cruel world. When their lives entwine, the children learn to trust and the man learns how to love selflessly. This was a sweet book that made me cheer as heartbreaking became heartwarming.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love story that gives us an insight into poverty and desperation.
Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2016

This is a love story that gives us an insight into poverty and the desperation because of it. It truly helps us to remember how fortunate and blessed we really are and how we all need to have more compassion and love for our fellow brothers and sisters. Maybe we can slow down and look, and think about how we can serve and help others. It's a wonderful story with a happy ending.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful story
Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2013

I loved this book! It was a perfect read during the Christmas season. The book is emotional and heartbreaking in places, but the love, forgiveness and restoration of Jesus is beautifully told without being religious or pushy. This book captivated me and made me feel like I was a part of it. I could easily see this as a Hallmark movie.

I loved the setting of this book. I really felt as if I was living on the streets with the kids and understanding their need to survive and yet how they felt the twinge of knowing that stealing was wrong even if they needed the food/money to just exist one more day. The feeling of self-worth came thru for these poor urchins and yet the rich people found that all the riches in the world didn't make them happy. Good read

4.0 out of 5 stars Inspired love
Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2018
Verified Purchase
Ms. Nunes presents well-developed characters. We understand so much about each character as the story moves along that we hurt with them, love with them, cry with them, and laugh with them just like we are all part of one family. I gave it 4 star instead of 5 because it was hard to get into the flow of story in the beginning to tie in the connection of the characters. Once I got into the story until the glorious end, It was hard to put down. I would recommend this book to anyone.

This book grabs your heart at the beginning as the two young characters fight to find/steal food for themselves in order to avoid consequences if they fail. I loved the ending and enjoyed each page!
