Summary
Lyn Bennett has arrived in historic Florence, Italy to discover details of her mother’s past as one of the city’s beloved Mud Angels — a group of volunteers who helped save Florence’s art during the 1966 flood.
When Lyn is shocked by a betrayal of those closest to her, she takes a hard look at her expectations of love and fidelity — and how she has made decisions in her life.
New friend, Matteo, a curator in the restoration office of the Uffizi Museum, becomes a conduit to uncovering secrets of her mother’s past. He, along with the city of Florence, with its pride, strength and beauty, inspire her to step past the "should do this" in her life, be true to herself and open her heart. (From the publisher.)
