Never give up on your dreams, no matter how long you hold on to them . . .

When Gracie Burton stumbles upon an advertisement for a week-long cookery course in the heart of the Tuscan countryside,she cannot resist, and ploughs her life savings into the trip.

Her only family - daughter Carina and granddaughter Anastasia - are hesitant about what has prompted this seemingly random venture.
