The first novel in a trilogy, "Very Valentine", takes you on a journey from Greenwich Village to Tuscany, Naples, and the Isle of Capri. It also gives you insight into Italian family dynamics and their zest for life. We meet the main character Valentine Roncalli; a 33 year old, single Italian woman who is struggling to find a way to reinvent the financially strapped family owned Angelini Shoe Company. As she is learning the trade from her grandmother of making exquisite wedding shoes they travel to Italy to find new materials to enhance their line of shoes. Along the way there is love that is lost and a family secret that is reavealed. All the time we are secretly screaming at Valentine to drop the deadbeat and go for the luscious Italian that she meets at the tannery in Italy. We shall have to wait and see how it all progresses in book two..."Brava, Valentine".
