Julia's Search for Love — June Bryan Belfie

Julia has just returned to the States from India, where she helped at a Christian Orphanage, when she receives word of Antony's Aunt Lucia's serious illness. Since Julia did not plan to return to college to complete her degree until the following semester, she offers to help the family by returning to Italy to help care for the dying woman. Their mutual love of art, and of a certain young man, has drawn them close. Before she leaves for Italy, she discovers information that could affect her future with Antony Scarpelli, the handsome professor she met in Rome, but is it too late for that relationship to mend? Clementine, now a famous model in France, re-enters Julia's life causing conflict with their mutual friend, Georgio. Clem's fickleness damages lives and forces Julia to re-examine her own developing faith. Can she help Clem change her ways or is she a lost cause? What does God want her to do? A surprise awaits Julia when she stays in Italy, which turns her world upside down. Her new spirit of independence gives her confidence to make life-changing decisions on her own, but will she make the right decision?
