Gelato at the Villa

I love reading Robin Jones Gunn's books and this one touches the middle-aged heart.  

Claire and Grace are friends who take a pilgrimage in Italy to bathe in the culture through cooking lessons, tasting gelato, taking in the architecture and scenery.  What they didn't realize is that God had a plan for their trip and it had life-changing implications.  

Everywhere they went through Italy, they tasted the local gelato as well as the local cuisine.  Their friendship grew deeper, and at an unexpected time, God showed up to bring healing and strength to so many parts of their lives. 

Gelato at the Villa is one of the best books I've read this year.  The settings were so enticing and the food described made my taste buds dance.  Robin has a great way with her words and is so skillful in putting the story to paper.  

Five Stars, Two Thumbs Up, and a cup of Gelato.
