Il Bel Centro Michelle Damiani

When Michelle Damiani dreamed of living in Italy, she imagined her family as it was in Virginia--her husband filling every moment with work, her teenage son experimenting with sarcasm, her daughter smiling at the scent of lilacs, her baby-cheeked son methodically clicking Legos together, and herself hovering over the happiness of them all--only surrounded by ancient cobblestone alleys and the sound of ringing Italian. What she didn't know was how Italy would work to change them all.
