As these and other characters in the town of Lucca get to know Isabella, they are challenged to surrender their fears. Fascism is taking hold of the heart of Italy, and it is ensnaring all Italians in a web of brutality and dictatorship. Will Isabella's simple love and friendship be enough to break fascism's hold on the residents of the vineyard? Find out in this compelling novel about love, hope, and the family we choose for ourselves.
