In this smart, tender, insightful new novel, bestselling author Holly Chamberlin introduces two very different women who, over the course of two unforgettable weeks, learn about unbreakable bonds, unshakeable love, and the chances that come once in a lifetimeโand change us foreverโฆ
When Elizabeth Caldwell planned a trip to Florence with her daughter, Marina, she secretly hoped for a warm, fuzzy bonding experience worthy of a Lifetime movie. But Marinaโtwenty-one, newly graduated, and close to her mom in many waysโhas always been more the PBS type: dependable, practical, and completely in control. Elizabeth knows Marina wants to avoid the kind of โstupid mistakeโ that left Elizabeth a single mother at twenty-two, and sheโs bitten her tongue as Marina settles for a wealthy fiancรฉ who gives her everything she thinks she wants. After all, Elizabethยฌโunable to bring herself to fully commit to the man she has dated for yearsโis hardly an expert in romance.
Still, a lot can happen on vacation, especially in Tuscany, where every scent borne on the warm breeze inspires delight, and every view makes the heart soar. There, on streets once walked by Dante and Michaelangelo, Marina is blindsided by a gorgeous Italian named Luca who shows her how gloriously unpredictable passion can be, and Elizabeth finally lets go of the role that has defined her for so long to embrace her own uncertain futureโฆ
