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 lifetime—and change us forever…
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
Marina—twenty-one, newly graduated, and close to her mom in
many ways—has always been more the PBS type: dependable,
practical, and completely in control. Elizabeth knows Marina
wants to avoid the kind of “stupid mistake” that left
Elizabeth a single mother at twenty-two, and she’s bitten
her tongue as Marina settles for a wealthy fiancé who gives
her everything she thinks she wants. After all,
Elizabeth¬—unable to bring herself to fully commit to the
man she has dated for years—is 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 future…
