Follow Your Heart is an international bestseller with tremendous word-of-mouth appeal. This bittersweet, heartwarming novel spans generations and teaches the universal truths about life, love, and what lies within each of us.

Originally published in Italy, it begins in late autumn 1992 as an elderly Italian woman, prompted by the knowledge of her encroaching death, sits down to write a letter to her granddaughter, now grown and living in far-off America. Through these moving reflections, one life is laid bare—joys, sorrows, regrets, and all.

Through the eyes of a woman nearing the end of her days, we come to understand what life experience has taught her: that no matter what the stakes, we must look within ourselves and gather the courage to follow our hearts.
