When Kitty's mother dies, she is left reeling. Carol wasn't just Katie's mom but her best friend and first phone call. Even Katie's husband can't seem to get through to her. She is lost without her anchor. Her mother was her true north. To make matters worse, the mother-daughter trip of a lifetime looms going to positano, following the very same route Carol did. As a young woman. Katie has been waiting years for Carol to take her, and now suddenly she is faced with embarking on the adventure alone. But as soon as she steps foot on the beautiful Amalfi Coast, bullied by the stunning cliffsides, delectable food, and charming hotel, Katie begins to feel her mother's spirit. And then Carol appears for real in the flesh, healthy and santand... And 30 years old. Kathy doesn't understand what is happening, or how. But over the course of her time in Italy, Katie gets to know Carol in this new form, and soon she must reconcile the mother who knew everything with the young woman who does not yet have a clue. One Italian summer is Rebecca sterile's new great love story, a transcendent novel about how we move on after loss, and how the people we love never truly leave us.
