The Heirloom

"Shea Anderson's beloved Nonna had endless rules for a happy, healthy life: avoid owls, never put a hat on a bed, and never, ever accept a marriage proposal that comes with an heirloom ring. Happily ever after is hard enough without bad karma in the mix. Naturally, panic sets in when Shea's boyfriend, John, proposes with an heirloom ring. Yes is her answer, but Nonna's warning sets Shea on a mission to ensure the ring contains forever energy: She will find its previous owners wherever they may be. With the help of her long-suffering big sister and a nosy journalist eager for a big story, Shea embarks on a journey that takes her from Los Angeles and New York to Italy and Portugal. Sophisticated, cinematic, and full of lively observations, The Heirloom is a diamond-sharp read for everyone who's ever tried to make their own good luck"--
