Sally Brady’s Italian Adventure

I am in desperate need of a vacation, but with our crazy and busy summer we sadly don’t have time to fit one in. Thankfully, I have 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗱𝘆’𝘀 𝗜𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 that will whisk me away to WWII Italy and take me on an adventure!

𝗦𝘆𝗻𝗼𝗽𝘀𝗶𝘀: What if you found yourself in the middle of a war armed only with lipstick and a sense of humor? Abandoned as a child in Los Angeles in 1931, dust bowl refugee Sally Brady convinces a Hollywood movie star to adopt her, and grows up to be an effervescent gossip columnist secretly satirizing Europe’s upper crust. By 1940 saucy Sally is conquering Fascist-era Rome with cheek and charm.

A good deed leaves Sally stranded in wartime Italy, brandishing a biting wit, a fake passport, and an elastic sense of right and wrong. To save her friends and find her way home through a land of besieged castles and villas, Sally must combat tragedy with comedy, tie up pompous bureaucrats in their own red tape, force the cruel to be kind, and unravel the mystery, weight, and meaning of family.

Heir to Odysseus’s wiles and Candide’s optimism, Sally Brady is a heroine for the 21st century.
