Going to Italy?
For years, Bree and her friends have dreamt of going to Italy. Years earlier, when Bree became a widow with children, she began struggling financially, and going on a trip was out of the question. When her friend dies and leaves Bree $10,000 to go to Italy, she finally has the chance for her dream to come true.
Once again, Jessica, her 28-year-old daughter, has gotten involved with a guy who talked her out of her money, and put her deep in debt. Now the guy is gone, along with almost everything she had. Jessica insists the trip money be used to bail her out of yet another mess.
Her very responsible adult son urges Bree to take the trip, and make Jessica stand on her own two feet. Can Bree leave her daughter when she is in such dire straits?
Pierre, a handsome man, has been giving Bree Italian lessons. A widower himself, he has recently retired to open a coffee shop that caters to veterans. For the first time since becoming a widow, Bree has interest in a man, but this one is giving her mixed messages.
Will Bree take this once-in-a-lifetime chance to go on the trip of her dreams? What will become of Jessica if Bree doesn’t help her out? Are Bree’s feelings towards Pierre one-sided, or do the two of them have too much baggage to think of having a relationship?
From the first page, you will get caught up in this tale, and the descriptions will make you feel like you are there. Many of the characters rely on their Christian faith to get through life.
This story was a good example of adult kids still needing their parents no matter what their age. Alcohol is used throughout the book, and the son of one character, along with his male partner, play a small part in the story.
This five-star book will be enjoyed by anyone who has faced family drama, likes to travel, or debated about a relationship!
