Playing matchmaker for Leesa and the charming chef’s son, Matteo, gives Millie a renewed sense of purpose. As the women stroll through Renaissance piazzas, make Ribollita in a Tuscan cooking class, and share stories beneath the glow of trattoria lights, they find themselves not only soaking in the beauty of Florence—but experience healing for their souls. With laughter, love, and the quiet grace of second chances, The Streets of Florence is a warm, uplifting novel about friendship, finding joy again after loss, and discovering that sometimes the best way forward is one step, one dish, one shared secret at a time.
