The people who came into my life were a gift from God and each of them taught me something about myself. I’m grateful for the time we spent together. However, I sometimes wished that they had stayed around so I could have seen how things worked out for them. This book is all about just that. I’m going to give them all a happy ending.
I'm an Italian American born in New York. Fate had it that I traveled to Italy, and fell in love with everything Italian, especialy the city of Florence. I left my teaching job to spend a year there and I ended up living in Florence for five years. I taught English and met wonderful people. I opened my own little Art Studio near the Piazza Annunziata, and I felt I was in Heaven!! But Fate didn't stop there. I met a wonderful man who lived in the province of Turin, married him and had 2 great children. So now I'm a transplanted "fiorentina", but my love for that city still continues and I'm fortunate enough to live close enough to go back as often as I like!

This book has a lot of me in it. Most of the people in these stories, I actually met in my life. I always thought they came into my life like the proverbial, two ships that pass in the night. I was thinking about them when I decided to write this book. I may never see these people again but I sincerely hope they all had happy endings. And even if I never will know, I wanted to give them all a truly perfect happy ending. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
