When Samuel was ten, he rowed across the river and met a girl who changed his world.
Emily was beautiful, kind, and full of light.
A princess in every way.
She was also wealthy, out of his league, and, according to others, someone he wasn't supposed to love.
But at ten years old, love doesn't come with rules. He only knew that Emily was special.
That she was perfect for him.
The Girl Across the River is a story of a love that defies expectations. A love deeper than attraction or circumstance. A love that cherishes, understands, and endures, no matter what the world has to say.
Samuel loves Emily.
The spirited, spoiled rich girl across the river.
The girl with Down Syndrome.
The girl who is perfect in every way.
