The House by the River

by Lena Manta

The House by the River follows the poignant journey of Theodora and her five daughters as they navigate the turbulences of life away from their cherished home at the base of Mount Olympus. With their father gone and the shadow of World War II beginning to wane, the sisters embark on separate paths that lead them across the globe in pursuit of love, adventure, and fulfillment. Despite their newfound independence, the bond of family and the call of their riverside home continue to play a central role in their lives. As they face personal trials and tragedies, they are reminded that amidst life's unpredictable ebb and flow, their mother's steadfast presence and the memory of their childhood sanctuary are their unchanging beacons. Will the distances that life has put between them be too great, or can their shared history and longing for each other pave the way back to the warmth of Theodora's open arms?
