I am hard worker, I like to read, draw, and make people happy. I also enjoy helping others, being kind, and being generous.

Picture
This book is about a girl named Lina and she has to go to Italy to move in with Howard, her dad who she never even knew about for sixteen years. She needs to go there because her mom and grandma think it’s best for her and her mom is in the hospital dying from cancer. Lina promises and even if she doesn’t want to go her mom said she has to go no matter what. When Lina gets to Italy she receives a journal that was her mom’s from Howard’s friend Sonia. She reads the journal because she wants to find out what happened to her mom’s relationship with Howard. While she’s in Italy she meets new people who turn into friends and she goes to restaurants and other places that she realizes are amazing, just like her mom said in her journal. When things are going well it starts to turn and twist when she finds out her mom had a boyfriend that isn’t Howard, and the boyfriend breaks up with her while Lina’s mom had Lina in her stomach. Now, all Lina needs to do is know if she is the boyfriend’s child or Howard's?
