A trio of second-born daughters sets out on a whirlwind journey through the lush Italian
countryside to break the family curse that says they'll never find love by New York Times
bestseller Lori Nelson Spielman author of The Life List. Since the day Filomena Fontana cast a
curse upon her sister more than two hundred years ago not one second-born Fontana daughter has
found lasting love. Some like second-born Emilia the happily-single baker at her
grandfather's Brooklyn deli claim it's an odd coincidence. Others like her sexy
desperate-for-love cousin Lucy insist it's a true hex. But both are bewildered when their
great-aunt calls with an astounding proposition: If they accompany her to her homeland of Italy
Aunt Poppy vows she'll meet the love of her life on the steps of the Ravello Cathedral on her
eightieth birthday and break the Fontana Second-Daughter Curse once and for all. Against the
backdrop of wandering Venetian canals rolling Tuscan fields and enchanting Amalfi Coast
villages romance blooms destinies are found and family secrets are unearthed-secrets that
could threaten the family far more than a centuries-old curse.
