<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>From the multiple-award-winning author of <em>To Tuscany with Love</em> comes a captivating story of the epic tug of war between honor and duty, the irrepressible power of love, and the concept of family.</strong></p><p>In 1945, Will Mills and his fellow soldiers in the 10th Mountain Division scaled Italy's treacherous Riva Ridge in the frigid night to break through the nearly impenetrable German line of defense. Severely wounded, Will was rescued by Italian partisans and one, a beautiful girl, tended his injuries until he had the strength to rejoin the U.S. troops.</p><p>Tormented and haunted by his decisions and actions during wartime, Will knows he has unfinished missions in Italy to complete. The passage of time and years of carrying this unfulfilled need have molded Will into a bitter, angry man.</p><p>Seventy-five years later, Will's spunky thirty-two-year-old neighbor, Sophie Sparke, faces disaster in her life. Everything is going wrong--her job, her love life, even her dog. Part of the problem is that confident and fiercely independent Sophie lets her quick mouth get her into trouble.</p><p>Grouchy, mean-spirited Will finagles Sophie into traveling with him to Tuscany to find the partisan who saved his life. Will also secretly hopes to confront the demons his wartime actions created. Sophie and Will comb enchanting Tuscan hill towns on an improbable and unfolding mission with few clues to aid them. Will's passionate tenacity drives their quest and in the process exposes their darkest secrets. The journey alters the course of their lives, and Will and Sophie find more than they had imagined in the hills of Tuscany.</p><p><strong>Accolades for <em>To Tuscany with Love </em>by Gail Mencini: </strong></p><p><em>"A powerful debut novel that transports readers to the lush Italian countryside ..."</em> -- Mandy Brooks - Book People Austin, TX and Erica Bates - Tattered Cover Denver, CO</p><p><em>"Best character driven novel I've read!"</em> -- Jenny Simonson, Black Hills Book Club</p><p>Honored as #1 Local Best Seller -- Denver Post</p><p>Recommended as "Inspirational Women's Fiction" -- USA TODAY</p><p>2014 Fiction Winner -- Beverly Hills International Book Awards</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>...All of Mencini's characters feel authentic.
