Book Description:
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.

Reading this book was like taking a vacation to the Italian coast! The story takes place in a small Italian town. The author weaves together the histories of several people there---a priest, his niece and her daughters, a fix-it man, and a prodigal son returned. It's beautifully written, fun to read, makes you laugh, makes you cry, and makes you want to find this town (or one like it) and live there!

Kelly S. (While the middle of this book seemed to drag a bit, the descriptive ability of the author was awesome and really made you feel as though you were spending a summer in a small town in Italy. It was so easy to fall in love with the characters and I LOVED the ending. I cried.
I REALLY liked this book. You want to visit this little Italian village and feel you know the people living there.
This is a wonderful story. I thought the plot was unique and found the characters very endearing.
