The Angelini Shoe Company, one of the last family-owned
businesses in Greenwich Village, has been making exquisite wedding
shoes since 1903 but now teeters on the brink of financial
collapse. To save their business from ruin, thirty-three-year-old
Valentine Roncalli--apprentice to and granddaughter of master
artisan Teodora Angelini--must bring the family's old-world
craftsmanship into the twenty-first century. Juggling her budding
romance with dashing chef Roman Falconi, her duty to her family,
and a design challenge presented by a prestigious department store,
Valentine returns to Italy with her grandmother in a quest to build
a pair of glorious shoes to beat their rivals. And in the course of
discovering her true artistic voice and so much more in la bella
Italia, Valentine will be turning her life and the business upside
down in ways she never expected.
