After moving from Manhattan to Milan 20 years ago, with no job, no friends, and no patience for the Italian way of life, California-bred writer and editor J.J. Martin realized she had no option but to surrender to the vibrant but slow-paced lifestyle. In so doing, she discovered more joy (and success) than she could ever have imagined. In Mamma Milano (Vendome Press), Martin invites us to jump on board and join her on her journey—an outsider’s evolution through life, love, loss, creativity and magic—to today’s Milano.
