“I couldn’t have the person I loved, but I could have the place. Italy was still there, waiting for me.”

Assunta believes it’s too late for love. She leads a small, quiet life in a southern Italian mountain-top town, and she isn’t unhappy.

Sarah-Jane has had enough of love to last a lifetime. She’s embarked on a solo adventure, driving through Italy with a small dog her only companion. And things are going really well….until they go wrong.

This is a story about friendship, about finding love that has been there all along, about family and…of course…food.

“Love and food are a heady combination.”
