She watches from her terrazza as the three American women carry their
luggage into the stone villa down the hill. Who are they, and what
brings them to this Tuscan village so far from home? An expat herself
and with her own unfinished story, she can't help but question: will
they find what they came for?**

Kit Raine, an American writer living in Tuscany, is working on a
biography of her close friend, a complex woman who continues to cast a
shadow on Kit's own life. Her work is waylaid by the arrival of three
women--Julia, Camille, and Susan--all of whom have launched a recent and
spontaneous friendship that will uproot them completely and redirect
their lives. Susan, the most adventurous of the three, has enticed them
to subvert expectations of staid retirement by taking a lease on a big,
beautiful house in Tuscany. Though novices in a foreign culture, their
renewed sense of adventure imbues each of them with a bright sense of
bravery, a gusto for life, and a fierce determination to thrive. But
how? With Kit's friendship and guidance, the three friends launch
themselves into Italian life, pursuing passions long-forgotten--and with
drastic and unforeseeable results.
