Publisher Comments:
Jo Shepherd grew up on a farm in the Pacific Northwest under the loving care of her grandfather, Frank. After spending months nursing him through his final painful illness, Jo receives a vision of the Virgin Mary, who sends her to Italy to live out her dream of becoming an artist. In doing so, Jo must leave behind her home and her best friend Jack, and risk losing him forever.
In Florence, Jo’s intense artistic visions begin to find fruition, but her odyssey is complicated when she meets Chad and Walter, two extraordinary young men. By day, Jo paints–women in a marketplace, the view of the Arno from the Piazzale Michelangelo. At night, both Chad and Walter vie for her attention. As the lives of these three friends become more deeply entwined, the revelation of painful secrets threatens to destroy their delicate balance.
It isn’t until Jo returns home that she begins to face up to the legacy of her time in Italy, her very real grief for the grandfather she lost, and the prospect of a future with or without Jack.

I bought this book, read it, and then immediately read it again. It reveals the artistic process in an uncanny way, especially since the author says she's not an artist! The complexities of first love, first sex, lifelong love and general romance are tenderly, perfectly rendered. I especially like the true connections of family and friends--deep but not saccharine. If you are an artist, aspiring or otherwise, you will be deeply heartened by this book. And everyone else--read it, enjoy it.

A magical, wonderful look at a young woman's life and her search for love yet while she finds and loves she also experiences profound loss and sadness. This book reminds me why I particularly enjoy new authors. This is not your typical novel. It is written with heart and tenderness and a small amount of mystical reverence.
I loved it.
