Check out the full review at Kritters Ramblings
The first of a trilogy that centers around Valentine who is a young woman who has decided to leave her job as a teacher and go into the family business that has been their mainstay for over 100 years. Valentine must forgo many things to follow in her grand parents and great grand parents footsteps.
The reason I started this book was because I am on tour for the third book in the trilogy and decided to start back at square one. I spent one fantastic fall weekend soaking up some sun outside and reading the first two in this trilogy. I fell in love with both Valentine and her family. Adriana Trigiani paints fantastic pictures of both characters and setting - the reader wants to be a part of the family and go with them on their adventures. With an older brother and three sisters, this family had plenty of drama, but never too much!
