Publisher's summary

Gemma Jericho is an overworked New York doctor with a handful of a teenaged daughter and a mother who worries that Gemma has no life. So when her mother receives a mysterious letter telling her about an even more mysterious inheritance in Tuscany, Gemma sees her chance. The three of them throw caution and convention to the wind and leave for Italy. Gemma hopes that a change of scenery will bring back the closeness she used to share with her daughter. And perhaps the challenges of living in a foreign country will give her mother something to worry about beyond Gemma's social life.

But what they encounter in Tuscany is far more distracting than Gemma expected: a crumbling old villa and a town divided. Half the residents believe that Ben Raphael, another American, is the rightful inheritor of the villa. As cultures clash, gossip soars and intrigue unfolds. Gemma is caught up in the most disturbing and delicious trouble she's ever had. And her summer in Tuscany will change her outlook and her life forever.

Tuscany

A wonderful description of Tuscany, landscapes, food, wine, people, towns, and Rome. I actually saw the black robed old begger ten years ago. It was a good story but the detailed sex took away from the story and I almost turned it off.

AWESOME STORY-DO NOT UNDERSTAND NEGATIVE REVIEWS!

Loved this story. Enjoyed the family dynamics. I liked that the ove scenes were described without foul language. I am not a prude, but I really dislike how some authors have to use foul language to write a story, as if for the drama!! This story also made me want to travel to Italy.

Very good escape

It was like taking a fun romantic vacation. You could really imagine being there. For the die-romantic it’s a fun listen.

Really enjoyed this book

I saw a bad review on this book and I just don’t understand it. This is a very good book, it takes you all over Italy, the storyline is engaging and gives people hope for a better future. What more can you ask for.
