Our Italian Summer

De: Jennifer Probst

Narrado por: Cassandra Campbell, Holly Linneman, Suzanne Toren

Three generations of women in the Ferrari family must heal the broken pieces of their lives on a trip of a lifetime through picturesque Italy from New York Times best-selling author Jennifer Probst.

Workaholic, career-obsessed Francesca is fiercely independent and successful in all areas of life except one: family. She struggles to make time for her relationship with her teenage daughter, Allegra, and the two have become practically strangers to each other. When Allegra hangs out with a new crowd and is arrested for drug possession, Francesca gives in to her mother's wish that they take one epic summer vacation to trace their family roots in Italy. She just never expected to face a choice that might change the course of her life....

Allegra wants to make her grandmother happy, but she hates the idea of forced time with her mother and vows to fight every step of the ridiculous tour, until a young man on the verge of priesthood begins to show her the power of acceptance, healing, and the heartbreaking complications of love.

Sophia knows her girls are in trouble. A summer filled with the possibility for change is what they all desperately need. Among the ruins of ancient Rome, the small churches of Assisi, and the rolling hills of Tuscany, Sophia hopes to show her girls that the bonds of family are everything and to remind them that they can always lean on one another, before it's too late.

A sweet story of 3 Generations finding themselves in one another.

The narrators were great. The author did such a beautiful job presenting common family dynamics & how there can be reconciliation with effort, patience, love, and of course, the beautiful scenery of Italy surrounding you. it was easy to fall in love with all three main characters; three beautiful, strong women. Sweet love stories woven into character development. The detail of descriptions that went into each Italian city was perfect. Loved this book!

Really good listen

Audible listen. I really enjoyed the three generations of women and their stories. All so different in personality and life issues. Mother daughter healings are involved. The trip to Italy was wonderful and of course, a little romance for the ladies. Great narrators!
