When Elizabeth Caldwell planned a trip to Florence with her daughter, Marina, she secretly hoped for a warm, fuzzy bonding experience worthy of a Lifetime movie. But Marina -- twenty-one, newly graduated, and close to her mom in many ways -- has always been more the PBS type: dependable, practical, and completely in control. Elizabeth knows Marina wants to avoid the kind of stupid mistake that left Elizabeth a single mother at twenty-two, and she's bitten her tongue as Marina settles for a wealthy fianc???e who gives her everything she thinks she wants. After all, Elizabeth -- unable to bring herself to fully commit to the man she has dated for years -- is hardly an expert in romance. Still, a lot can happen on vacation, especially in Tuscany, where every scent borne on the warm breeze inspires delight, and every view makes the heart soar. There, on streets once walked by Dante and Michaelangelo, Marina is blindsided by a gorgeous Italian named Luca who shows her how gloriously unpredictable passion can be. And Elizabeth finally lets go of the role that has defined her for so long to embrace her own uncertain future...

This book is about a mother/daughter relationship and the mother's attempt at creating a meaningful experience with her young adult daughter that will bring them closer together and, hopefully, lay the foundation for an ever growing, close, sharing, and mutually respectful future.
Not only is it their story, but it offers quotes and witticisms from many perspectives that had me nodding in agreement, laughing, and crying, and at last giving me an understanding to all the hurt feelings and fears I am experiencing while trying to redefine my relationship with my own young but grown up daughters.
Thank you, thank you. I can now relax and not take it so personally! I want to give it to every mother and every daughter I know, but I suspect moms will like it best.
