About A Girl’s Tuscan Dream:

This book is about how a forty-year dream landed me in one of the most unspoilt and beautiful areas of Tuscany.  As I start writing I am sitting in my dream home looking out towards the Mediterranean Sea. The Tuscan sun is still strong at this hour, and the soft light reflecting on the hills makes the olive trees a vibrant grey green.  The Love I found along the way is busy doing DIY projects.  We will soon have an Aperol Spritz, some fresh basil, mozzarella and tomatoes from the garden.  We will listen to the silence of the village.  We will sleep well tonight and not awake until we hear the toll of the church bells or the late rising rooster. Not a sound will trouble us through the night, we may dream or not.  What was a long dream for me is now a reality.  How did I get here?  Well, this is the tale of a Girl with a forty-year dream and a seven-year search to find her bliss.  Are you ready to find your dream?
