This book was born of spontaneity, just like the author's life in Venice, Italy. Not knowing why, it had to be written, just as the author had to leave Indiana amidst America's 1970's turmoil. She left art school in Indianapolis, Indiana, and her conservative upbringing, for an art course in Italy. The semester abroad lasted thirty-five years, which provided the fodder for this memoir.
While wandering the streets and canals of Venice, the author's life took many twists and turns. The unchartered course led to surprise after surprise-some astonishingly wonderful, some tragic. During this time, she married two Italian men, divorced two Italian men, had a son raised without support, started a fashion business, learned Venetian cooking, rowed Venetian style in the canals and lagoon, painted frescos, learned to gild, painted faux marble, had a paranormal experience, survived cancer, met extraordinary people, and became a Venetian citizen.
An unusual journey in a city rife with art led to envisioning life's big picture through the eyes of an artist. In A Home Without a Roof, Venice is described as a metaphor for an open mind: a beautiful character living freely, with some bad habits, but nevertheless loved. Become acquainted with the author. You'll discover the unimaginable richness she can bring to your life by opening your eyes to the bigger picture of existence on this earth and beyond.
