"The Miraculous Escape of The Most Beautiful Woman in the World", is an adventure tale about escape. It is part travelogue, part romance novel, part thriller, part historical fiction and ultimately, an exquisitely illustrated book about courage. It is the mostly true story about Simonetta Vespucci. You probably know her as VENUS in "The Birth of Venus", that iconic 15th century masterpiece by Sandro Botticelli. Yes, she was his Venus, but after centuries balancing on a scallop shell and watching the world go by, Simonetta Vespucci decides that enough is enough. She longs to join the living. She yearns to walk and dance and travel and get the heck OUT of that painting. But the "escape" from her gilded incarceration is the stuff only dreams are made of, and her life can truly begin only when she has the courage to do so. Simonetta wants to experience the LIFE that was so cruelly snatched away from her over 500 years ago, just before her 23rd birthday. Despite being adored, idolized, and thought to be the most beautiful woman in the world, Simonetta wants out. A terrifying event creates the opportunity for that to happen, but can she take it? This painting has been her home for over 500 years. People LOVE her. What will they do when she is no longer there, standing on that shell with waves splashing all around her? >Time is of the essence and without giving it a second thought, she gathers her courage and steps out of the painting. >This book is for anyone who has been afraid to follow their dreams. This book is for anyone who wants to change their life. >It is the story of Simonetta Vespucci, a.k.a. Venus. It is uplifting, exciting and splendidly illustrated by award-winning artist, Kathi McCord. It is about you.
