What you need to know before your trail

When Lily’s long-term relationship ends, she flees her life in New York to travel to her best friend’s wedding on the sun-drenched Italian island of Ischia – but could there be more to the secluded island than she ever imagined?

Ten days with nothing but sparkling seas, breath-taking beaches and delicious food sounds like the perfect cure for a broken heart. And Lily can hardly believe she’d never heard of Ischia before now. But Lily’s blissful break is short-lived as she discovers not only has she lost her boyfriend, she’s also lost her job.

As Lily searches for inspiration, she connects with local Matt, who shows her the magic the beautiful Italian island has to offer, and quickly inspiration strikes: Ischia needs more tourists and Lily knows just how to help.

As Ischia slowly heals Lily’s heart, will she in turn inject new life into the island? And will local Matt offer the possibility of a future she’d never dreamed of?

Travel Guide

From New York City to the island of Ischia

What a lovely journey and a very contrasting one. We start off in New York and head over to Italy with the sun on your face and the smell of icecream in your hair.

The island of Ischia is just off the coast of Naples. The scenery is evoked with style and plenty of lucious detail.

“She watched the city of Naples grow smaller and smaller behind her, before turning ther attention ahead as she ship navigated a wide right-hand turn out into the open sea. Commericial boats, fishing boats, sailing boats and speed boats all competed for the same stretch of water that connected the port of Naples to the open sea and the islands of Ischia, Procida and Capri beyond.”
