For readers who love character-driven contemporary romance and European escapes, this Italian love story will feel like a mini vacation. Some streets take you home. Others take you to the place where healing begins… After a tragic loss, Millie Devonshire travels to Florence with her dear friends Edith and Joy, hoping to find peace among the golden light and cobbled streets of Florence. But what begins as a quiet retreat soon turns into an unexpected adventure when the trio befriends Leesa, a young American waitress with a bruised heart, a secret passion for cooking, and a boss who controls more than just the restaurant. Playing matchmaker for Leesa gives Millie a renewed sense of purpose. As the women stroll through Renaissance piazzas, make Ribollita in a Tuscan cooking class, and share stories beneath the glow of trattoria lights, they find themselves not only soaking in the beauty of Florence, but they also experience healing for their souls. With laughter, love, and the quiet grace of second chances, The Streets of Florence is a warm, uplifting novel about friendship, finding joy again after loss, and discovering that sometimes the best way forward is one step, one dish, one lovely street through Florence at a time.
