Description
Adventurous but not worldly wise, the young author goes to Italy on vacation and is captivated with it, wanting nothing less than to become a native. Believing she could transfer her skills as an actress and model from New York, she learns how truly welcome she is in a culture both provincial and self-protective as well as steeply entrenched in tradition. Her deeply personal memoir set in Rome and Milan in the '70's brings you inside her quest to make friends, make a home, master the Italian language, steer a new career course and at times survive wholly on her own terms. With all the energy of someone fiercely independent but hungry for love and acceptance, she discovers while living in a foreign country that she is compelled to confront a lifelong struggle to fit in and belong.
