The people in San Gusme who accepted me as their family. The ancient traditions still alive and thriving. The way they treasure the food and wine they enjoy each day. It's my personal love story about meeting my husband, a chef. One that I never imagined would happen to me. I also wanted to inspire others to listen to their heart, and take a chance on those "gut instincts" that help to guide you in life. Even if it may lead down a path that is not familiar, and perhaps makes you a but uncomfortable, the risk may be so worth it in the end. (less)

Quotes by Sheryl Ness (?)

“Life in Italy had a beautiful rhythm to it, like a piece of music, starting out quietly, building to a middle crescendo, then quiet again until the big finish at the end. For me observing all of this as an outsider, it felt as if the locals would dance to the music and their voices were like songs. They would walk arm in arm together catching up and had a closeness that Americans would never dare to show.”
