I live here! This is my life!
Nita Tucker's four years in Florence are a lesson about how staying true to your dreams is really the only option. As editor-in-chief of The Florentine, the English language newspaper she set up with her husband and Italian partners, Nita's days in Florence were packed with interviewing politicians, princesses, designers and celebrities and accepting privileged invitations to palazzos, country estates, galleries and parties.
In between, Nita laughed and cried with her girlfriends over family, fashion, cultural differences and making a difference in their beloved Florence.
With the many highs came a few inevitable lows including Nita?s realization that it was her dream to live in Europe and not her husband and daughter?s - and that The Florentine was never going to pay her a living wage. It Happened in Florence is a story about living a life with no regrets, celebrating the discovery that those who love you most - will love you all the more for living a life without compromise.
