This book is full of realistic and unimaginable detail; you know this is coming from a true background. The highlights and climaxes come and go, and there's so many you're overwhelmed with feelings you feel for the characters, however it all wraps itself into one big beautiful story of what family is really about. This book is about family. It's about the tragedies and heart-wrenching truths that can befall only the closest of families, not to mention while being in the eye of the storm of a great war, and yet it's also about the bond of true blooded family, the honor and pride of a family, and the it's also about the remedy that only a true family bring to make ones life go from hopeless to bright. Detail was poured into this story to make all readers feel and understand what each character felt and you can't help but relate or sympathize. A great read.

Couldn't put it down!

This book took me in right from the first page. It is so well written that I felt like I was there. I couldn't put it down and read well into the night to finish it and then was sad it was over, I wanted to keep reading about this family. I am an instant fan of Teresa's writing and can't wait for her to write another book. I love the way she writes, it's like she is personally telling me the story. I loaned it to my mother who is 84 yrs.old and she read it in one day and said it was one of the best books she has read also. I have given this book as gifts and everyone feels the same way. I highly recommend this book for all ages. THANK YOU TERESA!!!!!

Bianca's Vineyard

Once I began reading “Bianca’s Vineyard” by Teresa Neumann, I realized this was going to be a virtual journey to Italy-back-in-time, as well as a delightfully personal window into the intricate lives of actual relatives of the author. Since Teresa is a co-worker, I was already aware of her writing ability, however this was the first fictional work I’d read of hers and I was beyond pleasantly surprised. Her characters—so vividly described and real—and the circumstances that unfolded in their lives made it nearly impossible to put this book down. I highly recommend Teresa’s first novel, Bianca’s Vineyard, to anyone who loves to get lost in a wonderful and well-written story. And, I am eagerly awaiting a sequel!
