Beyond the Cobblestones Luisa Ramondo

Claudia lives in a very small town in Southern Italy where the cobblestone streets are so narrow you can't have a car, not that there is any money for one. No money, no food and barely any education. All around her is poverty and nothing to do but marry a local boy and start a family of her own. But Claudia has a feeling that there's more for her out in the world. One fateful visit from a distant relative and suddenly she knows what she needs to do. Despite all the obstacles she knows she will face, Claudia sets out on a very difficult and unknown journey that challenges her every step of the way. A journey that will either be the best thing she's ever done or the biggest mistake of her life.
