There's a transatlantic voyage from the US to Gibraltar and yet the real drama begins in Seattle when her mother shares a family secret.

Pathological grief inspires a trip to Auschwitz and it can feel like an emotional rollercoaster at times but eventually, after living in so many cities, Bailey finds her final destination in northwest Italy called Piemonte; the secret that needs to be told. Or is that the final destination? Bailey's next book is called, "The Personal Legends of Piemonte". Due out next fall.
