Julia Redesigned

Christian Later in Life Fiction set in Florence, Italy

Can a stack of old letters written in Italian solve a family mystery?

For three years, Julia De Luca has juggled her successful interior design business with caring for her elderly mother. Following her mother’s death, Julia finds old letters from distant relatives in Italy. They remind her of visits she and her mother made when Julia was a child. Could the letters hold answers to the abrupt end of their trips to Italy she was ten years old?
These relatives whose names she’s forgotten are the only family Julia has left on earth. How can she reconnect with them after decades?
Julia’s desire to find her distant family leads her to take an impulsive trip to Florence, Italy. Along with savoring the sights and flavors of Florence, Julia discovers families can be messy, it’s not too late to fall in love, and that there’s more to Julia De Luca than she ever knew.

In A Second Chance Series, you’ll meet Marissa, Julia, Sydney, and Eden, four college friends who, twenty-five years later, renew their friendships as they find themselves empty nesters and single again. You’ll love getting to know these women and following each one—and her challenges, dreams, and secrets—in her own book. Julia Redesigned is Book 2 (after Marissa Rewritten.) A later-in-life Christian women's fiction series.

The AI voice detracted from the story

I liked the story, but I wish I had paid attention to the narrator. I won’t likely buy another book that has an AI narrator.

AI is horrible. I was unable to tell when different characters were speaking.

Narrator was bad. I will never purchase an AI narrated book again until the technology is significantly improved.
