When Grief Leads to Gelato: A Journey Through Florence
Sixteen-year-old Lina Emerson never expected to find herself living in an American cemetery outside Florence, Italy. Yet here she is, fulfilling her mother's dying wish to live with Howard, a man she's never met. After losing her mother to pancreatic cancer, Lina arrives in Italy determined to honor her promise as quickly as possible before escaping back to Seattle. But Italy has other plans for her. Howard, with his strawberry blond hair and piercing blue eyes, looks nothing like dark-featured Lina. Her bedroom window overlooks rows of gleaming white headstones-a cruel metaphor for her grief. Yet Howard has prepared a beautiful room for her, hunting through Florence's flea markets for the perfect antique writing desk and gauzy curtains. And his neighbor Sonia presents Lina with an unexpected gift: her mother's leather-bound journal from her time studying photography in Florence sixteen years earlier. "She sent it here last September," Sonia explains gently. "I think she wanted you to have it, to understand why this place meant so much to her." The journal becomes Lina's lifeline-a way to connect with her mother across the divide of death and understand why she was sent to live with a virtual stranger in a foreign country.
