New York Times bestselling author Adriana Trigiani takes us from
the cobblestone streets of Greenwich Village to lush New Orleans to
Italy and back again, from the tricky dynamics between Old World
craftsmanship and New World ambition, all amid a passionate love
affair that fuels one woman's determination to have it all.
For more than one hundred years, the Angelini Shoe Company in
Greenwich Village has relied on the leather produced by Vechiarelli
& Son in Tuscany. This ancient business partnership provides a
twist of fate for Valentine Roncalli, the
schoolteacher-turned-shoemaker, to fall in love with Gianluca
Vechiarelli, a tanner with a complex past . . . and a secret.
But after the wedding celebrations are over, Valentine wakes up
to the reality of juggling the demands of a new business and the
needs of her new family. Confronted with painful choices, Valentine
remembers the wise words that inspired her in the early days of her
beloved Angelini Shoe Company: "A person who can build a pair of
shoes can do just about anything." Now the proud, passionate
Valentine is going to fight for everything she wants and savor all
she deserves--the bitter and the sweet of life itself.
