The Lost Boy of Santa Chionia

by Juliet Graemes

Francesca Loftfield arrives in the isolated Italian hill town of Santa Chionia to open a nursery school to serve the community, a society living in another culture in another time. Believing she has the support of the citizens, especially the mayor, she forges ahead only to find puzzling resistance, a mystery she is asked to help solve, and possible romance. This is a wonderful read filled with great characters and vivid description.
