The coming-of-age story of a young American woman, finding herself and her future among the waterways of Venice, Italy.
Battling narrow-mindedness and discrimination in America, a young artist turns to the allure of Venice's old-world traditions while encountering its 21st-century challenge fighting a losing war against rising waters. There, she discovers her inner strength and courage, soul-deep friendship, extended family, and feminist threads binding her to both its unorthodox past and our collective future.
The art of living seems to reside somewhere in the delicate balance of forgiving and letting go of the past and holding on to love and hope for the future.
