Readers know her best for her two popular LDS series, Ariana and Love to the Highest Bidder, but with her new book, Nunes is writing for another audience as well. This story is meant not only for LDS readers," read-ers," Nunes says, "but for people of all religions." Nunes will be signing copies of A Greater Love and her other novels on Saturday, April 1 from noon to 2 p.m. at Deseret Book, 76 N. 100 East, American Fork. The store is offering a 10 percent discount on her novels while she is in the store. A Greater Love tells the story of Miguel and Sara, two Portuguese orphans, whose only chance for survival in a harsh world is a couple who are childless by choice. Wh:ie Iicr readership base may have enlarged, A Greater Love has many of the qualities that have made Nunes's LDS work popular, including a high amount of emotional tension. A Greater Love' By Barbara Christiansen Anyone who believes in the worth of a human soul will want to read Rachel Nunes's latest book, "A Greater Love." The same would hold true for anyone who would like to increase his or her sense of or appreciation appreci-ation for human worth and dignity. Nunes's latest work, the first outside of her best-selling Ariana series, is among her best, with a compelling look at the indomitability of the human spirit, in both young and old alike. Formerly from American Fork and currently living in Pleasant Grove, she demonstrates demon-strates an ability to paint a picture of her characters so that even the most cynical may feel their wants and needs. While there are spiritual spiri-tual overtones to the plot, the book is more a study of human character without a focus on religion. Two orphans in Portugal are the main characters.

Tarr, author of The Gathering Storm. "It is one of the few novels which have brought tears to my eyes." "I've had great responses from readers," Nunes confirms. "In fact, the first woman I let read the manuscript signed up the same week to sponsor a child through a monthly donation dona-tion to an international organization. organi-zation. It was then I realized I had something that just might reach out to people across the globe and change lives for the better." It's been three years since that first draft, and there have been many setbacks along the way, including a failed deal for a made-for-TV movie. "I'm actu ally glad that didn't go through," says Nunes with a laugh. "The agent wanted me to change the setting to somewhere some-where in America, and while the story itself is universal, I felt that having it set in Portugal added taste and imagery that was integral to the novel. And I don't believe is a good read Manuel and Sara Silva are almost too young to remember remem-ber much of their mother and know absolutely nothing of their father. Life with their aunt is uncertain at most, and they cling to each other fervently. The story of their lives and their meeting with Daniel and Cristina Andrade, a couple cou-ple who is childless by choice, could be insipid and maudlin. Rather, Nunes tells it well and brings the reader to a point of caring and concern. Characters are believable and portrayed well, and there's enough suspense and plot twists to maintain the reader's interest. The setting in Portugal works well. Nunes's familiarity familiar-ity with the countryside, after living there for two years, makes it vivid in anyone's any-one's mind, it plays well. Three cheers for her decision to keep the country as the background, despite encountering encoun-tering some pressure to change it. can audition their 10-minute audition time.
