Description by Author:
Southern Italy 1950s.
Desperate to break free from her father’s
possessive hold, Bianca prepares her escape to freedom. Vittorio, her tyrant
brother, convinced she’s yearning for something beyond her grasp, is obsessed
with bringing her to heel. If he can’t persuade her—he’ll break her.
At the first opportunity, Bianca flees to
England despite the country’s different culture, and a language she doesn’t
understand. She’s determined to do all in her power to control her own future.
When James, a handsome Englishman, steps onto
the scene, Bianca wonders if she should accept his proposal of marriage. But
will she find happiness marrying so far from home? Would she be sacrificing her
newly found freedom?
Based on true-life events, Bianca’s story is
one of determination, love, and ambition as she tries to adapt to her new life
and fulfill her dreams of becoming a top designer.
As the Italian saying goes—you can have more
than one home, but your roots will remain unchanged.
