A very inspiring message about coming back from the brink of divorce, letting go, and healing of the family and of oneself all told against the quaint backdrop of small town living in the Italian Riviera. In a nutshell, this family was courageous to set roots in Italy for a year without even knowing the language. Their quiet triumphs were moving and eye opening. Although this book was Christian based, the theological references weren't excessive nor offensive for the non Christian. It was just enough to relay the writer's self growth. If you are an Italian aficionado, this peek into the lifestyle is certainly for you. 4 stars.
