A once-in-a-lifetime business opportunity takes shoe designer and businesswomen Valentine Roncalli from the winding streets of Greenwich Village to the sun-kissed cobblestones of Buenos Aires, where she finds a long-buried secret hidden deep within a family scandal. Once unearthed, the truth rocks the Roncallis and Valentine is determined to hold her family together as she longs to create one of her own.
While Trigiani is a good writer, who researches deeply in her various subjects, I found myself skipping large sections of this book. The romance seemed too airy-fairy to me, without a basis I could believe in, however the conversations her character's various relatives engaged in were very funny.

I love the stories of Adriana Trigiani, especially the Valentine series. Her insights to living life and the joyful and sad times of family are touching.
