When love of home and family collide with desire for fame and fortune in Renaissance Italy, Celeste Gabriele finds herself thrust into a world she's unprepared to face.

Just as Celeste has achieved all she's ever dreamed of; marriage to a handsome Florentine Duke, three beautiful children, and a promising art career, her life begins to unravel. When her troubles escalate to the breaking point, and she sees no end in sight, Celeste is tempted to turn her back on all she holds dear to follow her passion. Will she have the strength and courage to resist the lure of the siren song and brave the churning waters to make her way home?
