What to expect
Chi trova un amico trova un tesoro.
"Whoever finds a friend finds a treasure."
Italian saying
Grace and Claire have formed a close friendship over their love of reading. After many years and many books that provided armchair adventures, the time has come for them to go somewhere instead of only dreaming of someday.
Traveling to Venice, Florence, and Bellagio, the Suitcase Sisters find themselves immersed in the magnificent works of art, scrumptious gelato flavors, and endless pasta variations of Italy. And they discover a vulnerability to disclose their struggles in ways they never did at home. As Grace experiences a newfound freedom and confidence in who she is, Claire wrestles with painful memories of her teen years.
A special dinner party brings unexpected revelations about faith and God's nearness. Then a life-changing moment on the shores of Lake Lugano causes Grace and Claire to discover they are not just tourists but pilgrims on a path to becoming all God created them to be.
"Robin Jones Gunn returns with another beautifully crafted story of Christian faith and nurturing friendship. … readers will be swept into this tender story exploring the gift of hospitality, the truths revealed by travel, and the peace found in forgiveness."—Booklist
