Synopsis
Portia is a journey through several generations of a family as perceived through the senses, emotions and memories of one of its courageous, insightful and non-crowd following members, Portia. The story realistically examines certain aspects of existence, perseverance and love between family members as well as the tenderness and affection which can only occur between soul mates. From a young lady coming of age to a career woman glimpsing her own mortality while confronting an uncertain future, Portia will tug on the reader's heart strings all along the way.

Review
With the civil rights movement as an intrinsic component of the story, Portia chronicles the strengths gained from struggle. One is left with the distinct knowledge that life's solemn tragedies are always matched by its impassioned splendor. -- World Wide Magazines and Books --World Wide Magazines and Books
Reading more like a personal memoir rather than a novel, Portia displays an innocence and a hope that is rare in modern novels. The author's research is impeccable, but the book is far from being a text on how to deal with life, rather it is an affirmation of faith, a testament to Portia's family's values. I wanted to spend more time with Portia. Ms. Turney, your work has added a new work to my read-again-and-savor list. -- Under the Covers Book Reviews --Under the Cover Book Reviews
Denise Turney's is a new, different and compelling voice. She relates poverty and base reality so that it clutches at you even as snippets of polished sophistication lull you into believing that the rawness of life is ephemeral. The dignity of her characters leaps from the pages, and neither poverty, a frightening illness nor an all-powerful need for love and affection can camouflage it. -- Gwynne Forster, Author of Ecstasy and Obsession --Bestselling author, Gwynne Forster, Author of Ecstasy and Obsession
