Released 13 yrs ago (12/28/2010 UTC) at Post Office, A RABCK -- Controlled Releases
CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:
This will probably be the last RABCK I will send this year for the 2010 RABCK Release Challenge and it is only fitting that it heads out to the Challenge host!
My comments: A lovely story of family, love, adventure, reunion, and a few life lessons tossed in for good measure. I don't want to spoil the story for Valentina1209. I really enjoyed the author's writting style and loved that it was set here in American and in Italy. The characters were described so well, I felt I knew them. I know it will be enjoyed by many readers to come and I look forward to the JEs.

Thank you so much!!! I love books about Italy!
July 2011: I loved this story! The characters seemed so "real", and I wish I could study Italian with Giancarlo, and learn it as fast as Carter did! I also dream of traveling to Italy, the real villages rather than the touristy areas, like Carter. A wonderful travelogue, sensitively told story of love, loss, and reconciliation.

WILD RELEASE NOTES:
RABCK to dove-i-libri
Oh! I received this package in the mail today! Two wonderful books, I can hardly wait to get to! I have always dreamt of traveling to Sicily, in the same way you are describing: to the small villages and towns, experiencing the true treasures of the land, not the tourist traps, etc. Thank you so much, fellow BookCrosser Valentina1209. I'll be sure to make a journal entry when I've read it, though that might be a while. I have a lot on my TBR plate right now.
