A collection of short stories reflecting on humor, hijinks, and love connections, based on those who've attended creative retreats and workshops in Italy.

Stories of life-changing experiences, difficult guests, crazy parties, and great food-all set in the Italian countryside-come alive in the new book from Annette Joseph, author of Italy Is My Boyfriend. In this collection of short stories, Annette paints a hilarious picture of what it's like to host people from all walks of life. Based on true stories, this book explores love affairs, stories of personal growth, and incredible characters who leave the host incredibly touched, and at times, reeling in the aftermath. A tale of hosting strangers in the Italian countryside, you won't be able to put this book down.
