The Lost Art of Second Chances

Second chances, long-lost love, and one final wish that changes everything...

When Belladonna Rossi dies, she leaves her granddaughter Lucy an unusual final request-return a priceless painting to a mysterious man in Italy. With her childhood best friend, newly divorced lawyer, Jack Hamilton in tow, Lucy sets off on a journey filled with family secrets, Tuscan sunshine, and a love story that spans generations.

But Belladonna's past hides more than just romance. During World War II, she helped the Monuments Men protect priceless art from the Nazis and lost her heart to one of them. Now, decades later, Lucy must follow the clues, mend broken bonds, and decide if she's brave enough to claim a second chance of her own.
