The magic of Chocolat meets the charm of Il Postino in this love story set in a forgotten Tuscan village, brimming with unforgettable characters, an enchanting setting, and more than one happy ending.When Leo Pizzola returns from America to Santo Fico--a tiny, forgotten village in Tuscany--he discovers more than the now neglected vineyard of his childhood. There's Marta, Leo's first and only true love, who will barely speak to him now; Topo, his once trusting, but now leery, best friend; and Father Elio, the village's pillar of faith who is experiencing a spiritual crisis all his own. When Leo and Topo are forced to orchestrate a series of manmade miracles--each more botched than the last--the end results are truly...miraculous. THE MIRACLES OF SANTO FICO pours forth with the stories of a village that is rediscovering the beauty of life itself and the nature and meaning of miracles.AUTHORBIO: D. L. Smith lives in Oregon with his wife and two sons.
