An Italian memoir, Finding Myself in Puglia, A Journey of Self-Discovery Under the Warm Southern Italian Sun.
Laine gave up her job as a nurse, sold her home and gave away most of her belongings. She had three desires bubbling at the heart of her choice: to write a book, paint a picture and climb a mountain before she died. A man with a van took her remaining belongings, along with her basset hound Basil, down to the heel of Italy over 1,500 miles away, where she would spend the next four years.
If it all seemed like a folly, then she was willing to take the risk, she moved to a house that she had only spent a week in the year before. She knew no one and yet she had surety in her resolve. She wanted to feel fully present in feeling unsafe and comfortable with the not knowing.
And so the journey began, a new language, a new life laced with humour and laughter under the warm southern Italian sun.
