He shattered her dreams. But not her spirit.
It’s 1990. With a leap of faith and three bulging suitcases, New Yorker Jayne Boland abandons her rent-controlled apartment and fashion career to join her almost-fiancé-boyfriend in Como, Italy, and start la dolce vita.
That is until her stilettos step off the plane and lover boy’s passionate ti amo – I love you – chills into a frosty finito – I’m finished.
Devastated by his betrayal and down to her last dollar, the creative twenty-four-year-old flees to the glittering metropolis, Milan. But the killer city of trendsetters and luxury boutiques is unforgiving to a foreigner with more ambition than Italian fluency. Jayne’s luck changes when a chic acquaintance steers her to unfamiliar territory - and an opportunity to land her ultimate dream job.
Guided by fate, humor, and an unlikely mentor, Jayne learns each misstep is a lesson, each victory a badge, as she tailors her own path on a quirky road trip through the gorgeous landscapes of Lombardy, Cortina d’Ampezzo, Venice and Croatia. Delve into her journey where imagination, family sagas, and self-discovery are sewn together in an inspirational and entertaining quest for a second chance.
