Southern Steam, 1923-39 by John Leslie Smith

Will an Italian escape strike a joyful chord in the soul of this once concert pianist?

Once a rising star, Clara Smith has traded in her life of concerts and chords for one of law offices and Prada. But putting down roots hasn't brought her the fulfillment she'd hoped for. Alone in LA for Christmas, and unsure of her new boyfriend, she wonders if she hasn't taken a very wrong turn.

But when her firm dispatches her to Siena, Italy, to lead a major project, the rhythm of the daily grind gloriously changes tempo.

Bonding with her charismatic eighty-year-old neighbor over his large collection of photographs, she uncovers a picture of a mysterious woman. Stunned to find out this famed beauty shares her name, Clara and her elderly companion set off on a breathtaking cross-country adventure in search of the woman in the photograph.

Can a tour through vineyards and sun-drenched landscapes restore Clara's passion for life?
