It's never too late to find where you belong...
Thea knew the holiday house her late husband Marco bought in Tuscany wasn't pristine. But when she relocates to Italy for the summer with her children, she's shocked by just how much work Casa Luna needs.

And she begins to wonder whether this small Tuscan town could become a new place to call home.Until a surprise visitor turns up...
