About this listen
Yet despite the beauty surrounding her, and notwithstanding the passing of time, Ivanka still struggles with grief over her father’s death. A decade of living in Italy has taught her that above everything else, it’s family that matters. Italy’s life lessons make her yearn to turn the clock back and be there for the last few years of her father’s life. She knows that’s not possible, so she does the next best thing. She decides to “pay it forward” and learns that although we cannot change the past, we can change the future.
Enter Giuseppe, a crotchety widower who has given up on life. Giuseppe has a heart full of regrets and a mouth full of suggestions for making the world a better place, according to the way he sees things. Joining them is Marvelous, an African migrant whom David and Ivanka have adopted in their hearts and who is struggling to cling to his hope for a better life ahead.
What do an aging ex-pat, an elderly Italian, and a youthful African migrant have in common? Both more and less than you’d think. In a world so bitterly divided, this unlikely entourage and their adventures together prove that friendship can surpass race, color, and age, when the people involved want it to—and sometimes even when they don’t.
This book can be read as a stand-alone or feel free to tag along for more laugh out loud adventures in Italy by reading the complete Simply Italian! Series: A Slice of Italy, A Slice of Tuscany, Tuscan Dreams, Paying It Forward, Fa' l'italiano! (Be Italian!), and the prequel, My Zany Life.
Embrace the Italian vibe! Watch 'You Want to Fa' l'italiano' and feel the magic of Italy in every beat!
