Giovannina Ficano

Never Without You Giovannina Ficano

Vincenzo can remember the exact second Francesca entered his life. He was eight and nearly asleep at his desk when a new schoolmate arrived. As soon as the darling Francesca asked if she could sit next to him, Vincenzo was smitten. The two became inseparable, and Vincenzo's childhood crush grew into the strongest love he had ever experienced.



Then, the war swept through Europe, and Vincenzo was sent to fight with the Italian army. Francesca promised to wait, but Vincenzo's infrequent letters eventually stopped.



After the Americans arrived in Naples, Francesca felt confident they were here to help and they did by saving her ailing brother's life.



Vincenzo was still alive and still pining for Francesca. When he finally returned home and found that she left he faced a daunting question: Did Francesca truly move on, or could he regain the love he'd so tragically lost?



This lush, romantic novella takes you from the shores of the Mediterranean to New York and Texas in a touching story of young love, heartbreak, and second chances.
