YA FIC NAP
In the Florentine countryside, Monna Elisabetta struggles to become the
noblewoman she's destined to be. Although her father is challenged to
keep his silk business thriving during difficult economic times, Monna's
mother is planning to give her an elaborate 13th birthday party in
order to meet a suitable husband. But upon Mamma's sudden death, the
event is canceled, and Monna turns her grief into preparing meals and
working alongside her father. His friend Leonardo da Vinci has
introduced her to Giuliano de' Medici, who becomes smitten with her
smile. When her father remarries into nobility, Monna is forced into an
arranged marriage, despite the fact that she has given her heart to
Giuliano.
