About this ebook

Annalise Fontana is feeling blue with no job, no boyfriend, and packed among her childhood memories in her parents' home. What could be more enticing than the opportunity to serve as a companion to her elderly Auntie Lil on a senior citizens’ tour of China (with a side trip to Singapore)?

She digs out her passport, packs her bags, and assumes that she’s in for a tranquil Jane Austenesque journey. Nothing could be further from the truth as the trip takes a turn before they even leave the country. What follows is a lively journey with a cast of quirky travel companions who are anything but dull. The Fontana girls immediately fit in with the festive group. While visiting heart-stopping sights, Annalise also has her heart begin pounding faster as she meets a number of charming young men.

But who is the mysterious, brooding stranger who seems to pop up on the streets of Singapore, in Beijing’s Forbidden City, and stays on her mind at the Great Wall of China?

Readers of all backgrounds have fallen in love with her sassy characters who come from close-knit families who live out their faith. She has written five novels (and counting), one of which has been adapted into a Hallmark Channel feature film. Settings are as diverse as a cozy ski village, an island-hopping cruise ship, or even an exotic world tour, and are filled with wit and charm The daughter of Italian immigrants, Barbara grew up in West Virginia with a love of reading and a passion for learning. Her career path has taken her around the world, allowing her to exercise her diverse language skills. A passion for the written word not only has culminated in her fiction, but she is also a professional book critic, and, in addition, mentors blossoming writers on their own career paths. Barbara also creates resume portfolio packages to assist job seekers in job interviews. Barbara lives with her biggest fan - her husband- and they share a love of travel, music, and good food, and they occasionally squabble over the AFC versus NFC divisions of the NFL.
