This historic business partnership provides the twist of fate for Valentine Roncalli, the school-teacher turned shoemaker, to fall in love with Gianluca Vechiarelli, a tanner with a complex past . . . and a secret. </p><p>A piece of surprising news is revealed on a fateful Christmas Eve when Valentine and Gianluca join her extended family.

Trigiani is a seemingly effortless storyteller."--<em>Boston Globe</em><br><br>"The novel is a sweeping epic, but at its heart, it's a love story. It speaks to an era of possibilities."--<em>Providence Journal</em><br><br>"I've always loved reading Trigiani, but [this] is something totally new and completely wonderful: a rich, sweeping epic which tells the story of the women and men who built America dream by dream. If you're meeting her work for the first time, get ready for a lifelong love affair. Splendid."--Kathryn Stockett, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of The Help<br><br>"New York ambition clashes with dolce vita ease in Trigiani's delicious latest. . . . Feisty and poignant . . . Readers will root for Valentine and the lessons she learns--which apply equally to designing elegant shoes and to crafting a rewarding life."--<i>People</i><br><br>"Superb. Trigiani's ability to bring the large, warm, enveloping--if somewhat dysfunctional--family to life will keep any reader engrossed and entertained."--<i>Publishers Weekly</i><br><br>"Val's eccentric family keeps the book going at a quick pace. . . . Recommended for all Trigiani fans and those who've enjoyed a good cookie table (an Italian tradition commonly seen at weddings in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia)."--<i>Library Journal</i><br>
