ABOUT THE NOVEL
Set during five epic years in the early 1500s when Florence was rebranding itself through its creative geniuses, Tuscan Daughter reveals the humanity and struggles of a young woman longing to find the only family she has left and be an artist in her own right and the way she influences the artistic masters of the time to stake everything on the power of beauty to transform and heal.
