Publisher's summary

When the Eternal City beckons, it's not just history that stirs; it's the secrets that yearn to be unraveled. Chaos ensues when a laid-off senior executive from the U.S. who has lived and worked for years in Italy, takes a temporary job chaperoning thirteen high school students and their three teachers from Atlanta in the Eternal City of Rome.

The executive, Atticus Winterle, finds himself forced to use all of his people skills along with selected local resources to keep the kids and teachers on track and out of trouble—to the extent possible. Despite, or perhaps because of, the strenuous efforts he must undertake to keep things from falling apart, he finds that both the teenagers and the adults—including himself—grow closer and even learn from the experiences they share in the Italian capital.

IN NINE DAYS IN ROME, YOU WILL DISCOVER:

  • How a trip to one of the world’s most visited cities unleashes a series of crises, driven by factors common to this age group all over the world, such as drug and alcohol abuse, depression, sexual excess, self-harm, etc., that the neophyte chaperone must handle.

While the events the book chronicles may seem like fare for a Las Vegas lost weekend, the takeaway from these experiences is that people of all ages can learn and grow in response to challenging circumstances.

Join Atticus Winterle and this unpredictable group from Atlanta for an exciting tour of Rome that features moments of great joy and sadness and demonstrates how unusual bonds can be formed, and connections made, when people from different backgrounds are brought together.
