An American woman whose life is in flux travels to Florence, Italy, for her job and meets someone who claims a long-ago Medici princess speaks to her from within the great masterpieces of the Italian Renaissance.
Meg Pomeroy has long dreamed of taking a promised trip to Florence, Italy. When her less-than-reliable dad finally tells Meg to book the trip, she hopes that the experience will heal the fissures left on her life by her parents’ divorce. But when Meg arrives in Florence, her father is a no-show, leaving the somewhat delusional memoir-writer Sophia Borelli to introduce Meg to the rich beauty of the ancient city. Sofia claims a long-ago Medici princess speaks to her from within the great masterpieces of the Italian Renaissance, and while this unnerves Meg at first, soon she finds herself wondering, what if renaissance isn’t just a word? What if that’s what happens when you dare to believe that what is isn’t what has to be?
