Love & Gelato ISBN: 9781406372328

People go to Italy for love & gelato ... but sometimes they discover much more. The dying wish of 16-year-old Linas mother was for her daughter to live in Tuscany and get to know her father, whom Lina has never met. "Howard is the best man Ive ever known," her mother says, "hell keep you safe." Why did her mother wait so long to tell her about him? Lina has a happy life in Seattle and doesnt want to leave. Shortly after she arrives at Howards home, Lina meets Sonya, who gives Lina a diary that belonged to Linas mother, the one she had kept while she was a photography student in Florence. While Lina is living her life and exploring Tuscany with her handsome neighbour, Ren, she follows in the footsteps of her mother and gets to know her as never before. She also finds out the truth about her father. Mostly she finds out about herself.
