About the Book
Spring arrives in Todi—but can hope bloom too?
Emma and Annarita welcome new guests to their Umbrian inn: a woman fleeing scandal, a reclusive artist seeking inspiration, a distant mother and son, a guarded writer, and a beloved friend passing through.
As the countryside comes alive, so do old wounds and fragile connections—testing whether this season will heal… or unravel.
About the Author
I write the women’s fiction stories I love to read, both contemporary and historic tales of women and the rich lives they lead along their journeys of self-discovery. A lifetime admirer and longtime resident of Italy, I’m often guilty of sneaking the bel paese into my stories.
Coming Soon
Many Enemies, Much Honor
In 1930s Rome, sprinter Italo is determined to make il Duce proud. Alessandra’s unhappy home life becomes more bearable the first time she steps onto a track in the 1970s. Lorenzo and Lucia are finding it difficult to juggle high school and intensive track training in 2020s Rome. From Fascism to the terrorism of the Years of Lead and on to a united Europe post-Cold War, Italy’s political and cultural landscape shift dramatically over the course of a century. But the drive for athletic greatness unites four Italian athletes across time.
Friendship. Love. Loss. New beginnings.
Find it all at The Three Coins Inn.
"A restorative, sun-kissed vacation
in the Italian countryside on every page."
