The Girl in the Glass: A Novel
Renaissance is a word with hope infused in every letter.
Â
Since she was a child, Meg has dreamed of taking a promised trip to Florence, Italy, and being able to finally step into the place captured in a picture at her grandmother€s house. But after her grandmother passes away and it falls to her less-than-reliable father to take her instead, Meg€s long-anticipated travel plans seem permanently on hold.
Â
When her dad finally tells Meg to book the trip, she prays that the experience will heal the fissures left on her life by her parents€ divorce. But when Meg arrives in Florence, her father is nowhere to be found, leaving aspiring memoir-writer Sophia Borelli to introduce Meg to the rich beauty of the ancient city. Sofia claims to be one of the last surviving members of the Medici family and that a long-ago Medici princess, Nora Orsini, communicates with her from within the great masterpieces of the Italian Renaissance.
Â
When Sophia, Meg, and Nora€s stories intersect, their lives will be indelibly changed as they each answer the question: What if renaissance isn€t just a word? What if that€s what happens when you dare to believe that what is isn€t what has to be?
