Previously published as Carla's Adventure: An Adventure of Life, Love and Family by Kate Granger

Carla stands at a New York crossroads. It’s a life-changing decision point, and there is no tarmac, traffic lights, or signs to help direct her.

What shall it be? A new life, love, and fresh opportunity beckons one way, or, in another direction, lies a return to the shitty humdrum of a sad existence, sleeping with a boyfriend who cares little and working for a restaurant owner who forgot how to care.

Dad’s advice echoes through Carla’s soul. He rued the day his daughter missed Venice from her gap year itinerary. The city that taught a father to be an accomplished chef could be the answer to a daughter with the same greatness.

With romance, love and sizzling steamy encounters a distinct possibility, is it time Carla turned toward a new direction?
