Book Description

He shattered her dreams. But not her spirit.
It’s 1990. With a leap of faith and three bulging suitcases, New Yorker Jayne Boland joins her almost-fiancé-boyfriend in Como, Italy, to start la dolce vita. That is until her stilettos step off the plane and lover boy’s ti amo – I love you – chills into a frosty finito – I’m finished.

Devastated by his betrayal, the gutsy twenty-four-year-old flees to the glittering fashion capital, Milan. But the killer city of trendsetters and luxury boutiques is unforgiving to a foreigner with more ambition than Italian fluency. Luckily, a chic acquaintance steers her to unfamiliar territory - and an opportunity to land her ultimate dream job.

Guided by fate, humor, and an unlikely mentor, Jayne tailors her own career path on a quirky road trip through gorgeous Lombardy, Cortina d’Ampezzo, Venice and Croatia. Delve into her transformative journey where imagination, family sagas, and self-discovery are sewn together in an inspirational and entertaining quest for a second chance.
