Golden Apples: A poetic journey of self-discovery and family secrets in Southern Italy

Beth is a creative, contemplative soul, and a loving mom. She is at a crossroads in her marriage, and without a clear sense of her gifts and inherent worth. When her spirited Aunt Ro falls while turning to toss a coin in the Trevi Fountain in Rome, Beth embarks on a journey that leads to her ancestral village in Italy, the discovery of a family secret, and a new understanding of herself. Included is a guide with prompts for readers/book clubs to craft their own literary-inspired journals and poems, based on the workshop, A Garden of Words, described in the opening scene.
