Aurora York had it all loving parents, a steady relationship, and a promising career. But after she loses both parents unexpectedly, she can’t seem to stay on track any longer.

I’ve really been enjoying Jennifer Probst’s “Meet Me in Italy” series, so I couldn’t wait to dive into To Sicily With Love, the fourth book in the collection. Each novel works as a standalone, so readers can jump in at any point without missing a beat.
In To Sicily With Love, Aurora York is struggling with the devastating loss of her mother, not long after losing her father. As an only child, she suddenly finds herself completely alone. Though she has a steady boyfriend, it’s not the same as having family. Her grief spirals into a public meltdown that threatens her career as a life coach, leaving her feeling lost. On a whim, she takes a DNA test she’d been given as a gift, not expecting much to come of it. But when the results reveal family in Sicily—relatives she never knew existed—her world shifts. When a cousin reaches out, inviting her to visit, Aurora takes a leap of faith.
In Sicily, she is welcomed by a warm and lively family, and she’s surprised by just how much she feels connected to them. Through Aurora’s eyes, readers experience the beauty of the region—the food, the culture, and even a reintroduction to religion. She also meets Quint, a kind and understanding man who recognizes her grief. Their relationship develops slowly, with Quint’s gentle support helping Aurora find her way forward.
I really enjoyed this story of loss, healing, and the power of unexpected family. The vivid descriptions of Sicilian culture, the deep emotional journey, and the heartfelt relationships made this a truly touching read. I especially loved watching Aurora embrace her roots and rediscover herself in the process.
The Narration:
I listened to the audiobook version, narrated by Dominique Salvacion, and her performance was excellent. Her tone was clear and engaging, and she handled the Italian words beautifully, adding an extra layer of authenticity to the experience.
Final Thoughts:
I sincerely hope there’s a fifth book in this series—I’m not ready to leave Italy just yet!
