The Sunflower Girl - by Rosanna Chiofalo (Paperback)

The Sunflower Girl is a poignant and moving story of the choices we make in the name of love, and the secrets that echo through generations.

Set against the stunning vistas of Tuscany, this novel follows the perspectives of a mother and daughter, two different settings--one historical and one modern--and how they find mutual understanding.

The story begins with Signora Maria Ferraro, who grew up in Florence during World War II and fell in love with a Resistance fighter.

After losing everything, she found salvation through cultivating roses on her farm in the Tuscan countryside.

Her daughter Anabella, however, longs for more than the beautiful surroundings of the rose farm, and their relationship deepens as they navigate their choices and secrets.

Through Dante, a handsome young artist, Anabella begins to see sunflowers, her cloistered existence, and the world itself through new eyes.

Will she choose between loyalty to her mother or living on her own terms? The Sunflower Girl is a beautifully written novel that will capture your heart and leave you thinking about long after you finish reading it.
