The wisdom of author Hanne Buggild shines through brightly in this inspiring and touching story of love, hardships, friendships, and triumphs.
From Denmark to New York and back again, the character of Hannah has gathered a lifetime of knowledge, and when faced with a financial challenge, she puts her common sense to work, not only for her own benefit, but for the benefit of nearly everyone she meets.
Having lived through the tragedy of her mentor, Virginia, dying in a tragic fire, Hannah returns to The Farm On The Edge Of The World where the tragedy took place in the hopes of reconnecting with her past. She does much more than that when learning that the farm is up for sale, putting her common sense to work figuring out how to acquire the money to buy the farm herself.
During an important trip to New York that would seal the deal and secure the funds, she inadvertently meets her childhood crush. But will the two create new sparks, or have the flames simply died out...?
People are the heart of The River of Life, and as Hannah sails along her river to her eventual destination, she rescues one soul after another from its rushing rapids.
As she learns a deep secret from her dear deceased Virginia, her entire life becomes clearer, and all the pieces of life's puzzle come into place...all but one. After helping so many others on her journey, can her own heart be filled with the love she has craved like chocolate since she was young?
