Katy and her mother have a trip planned to Italy. To the Amalfi Coast, Positano. Before the trip can take place, the mother passes away but Katy decides to take the trip anyway.
This book is a wonderful travelogue to this region of Italy. Everything, from the description of the wonderful scenery to the food and wine, to the people who greet you like family.
It is also a trip of healing for Katy. She was extremely close to her mother and is having a very difficult time coping with her grief. While in Positano she meets a special person who helps her overcome her sadness.
This book has many themes: friendship, loss, self-realization and more. I urge any readers of this book to suspend your thoughts in what you believe is real and lose yourself Katy’s magical journey. I did!
And now, I want to make plans to go to Positano. That’s how good the descriptions of this place were!
