ABOUT THE BOOK: From beloved New York Times bestselling author Adriana Trigiani comes a heartfelt and hilarious novel about second chances, self-discovery, and the power of starting over.
Jess Capodimonte Baratta thought she had it all—until divorce lands her back in her parents’ basement in Lake Como, New Jersey. Overlooked and overburdened, Jess longs for a life of her own. When a family tragedy reveals long-hidden secrets, she escapes to her ancestral home in Carrara, Italy.
Among the marble mountains of Tuscany and the glittering streets of Milan, Jess begins to rediscover her passion, her purpose, and a love that just might change everything. With warmth, wit, and her signature Italian flair, Trigiani tells the story of one woman’s bold journey to rebuild her life—this time, in stone.
