Our Italian Summer
Book Feature - Our Italian Summer by Jennifer Probst
HBL Note: In my post about my New Year’s Resolution, I talked about how heavy 2020 was and that I was looking for a happier, more relaxed and care-free year in 2021. That applies to my reading choices as well. Our Italian Summer by Jennifer Probst was described as a “hilarious, heartwarming novel.” And that is exactly what we could all use in the coming year: humor and heart. Scroll down to read all about Our Italian Summer.
Book Feature - Our Italian Summer by Jennifer Probst
From the publisher:
Workaholic, career-obsessed Francesca is fiercely independent and successful in all areas of her life except one: family. She struggles to make time for her relationship with her teenage daughter, Allegra, and the two have become practically strangers to each other. When Allegra hangs out with a new crowd and is arrested for drug possession, Francesca gives in to her mother's wish that they take one epic summer vacation to trace their family roots in Italy. She just never expected to face a choice that might change the course of her life. . .
Allegra wants to make her grandmother happy, but she hates the idea of forced time with her mother and vows to fight every step of the ridiculous tour, until a young man on the verge of priesthood begins to show her the power of acceptance, healing, and the heartbreaking complications of love.
Sophia knows her girls are in trouble. A summer filled with the possibility for change is what they all desperately need. Among the ruins of ancient Rome, the small churches of Assisi, and the rolling hills of Tuscany, Sophia hopes to show her girls that the bonds of family are everything, and to remind them that they can always lean on one another, before it's too late.
