Overview

Mary Rusconi lives a charmed life in Tuscany. On the day her husband, Luca, departs for a business trip to the United States, Mary stops in to see her closest friend - a wise and psychic 92-year-old woman named Dorotea. She tells Mary a young lady is about to enter her life with a devil riding one shoulder and a powerful angel on the other. Then Dorotea tells Mary that she is the only person who can help chase away this lady's devil. A few days later an artist from New Orleans named Jessie Morrow walks into Mary's small Tuscan art gallery. From the moment they share their first glass of Chianti, the lives of these two strong and creative women - and their friends and family - become connected in miraculous ways that will make your heart beat fast and bring tears to your eyes. Because of Tuscany is Karen Ross' second novel. Readers love the characters from her first novel, Chianti Souls, and their stories of romance and friendship continue in the heartwarming sequel. Karen takes you on a journey from Tuscany to New Orleans, to Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia, and back to Tuscany. Enjoy the ride.

Author Information

As a teenager, Karen read an excerpt from Alan Alda's commencement speech to the Connecticut College class of 1980, and remarkably, his words still inspire her. Mr. Alda said to the young graduates, You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. You can't get there by bus, only by hard work and risk and by not quite knowing what you're doing, but what you'll discover will be wonderful. What you'll discover will be yourself. Since then, Karen has challenged herself personally and professionally to live on that outside edge of comfortable and writing this debut novel did just that. Not a classically trained writer, she had a story to tell about life experiences: Gutsy romantic love (something not easily found and often lost), soul-tickling romantic Italy, delectable food and wine (especially Chianti) and passionate living and traveling.

She definitely traveled outside of her city of comfort, but it was undoubtedly worth the hard work and risk. Karen Ross is the granddaughter of an Italian immigrant name Giorgio Rondinara of Vico nel Lazio, Frosinone, Italy. When he because a U.S. citizen he wanted
