Recently divorced, Jess Capodimonte Baratta helps her Uncle Louie with his marble business from her parents' basement in Lake Como, New Jersey.
But when an unexpected loss within the family unearths long-buried secrets, Jess questions where her loyalties lie. Deciding a change of scene is needed, she escapes to Italy - her ancestral home.
From the shadows of the majestic marble-capped mountains of Tuscany to the glittering streets of Milan and the enchanting shores of Lake Como, which despite a shared name could not be more different from her hometown, Jess soon feels a sense of belonging.
And when she meets dreamy Angelo Strazza, a passionate artist, she know that this is where she is meant to be.
But as further revelations about her family history come to light, it's clear that Italy cannot be Jess' hiding place forever.
Will the dark truths of her ancestral past send her back home?
Or help her finally live life on her own terms?
