Many questions are answered in La Risposta. Forgiveness has been a big part of this series and it is even more important in this book. The characters are warm and believable. There are still a couple of plot twists. I could not put this book down and had to keep reading so find out the ending. This is another wonderful romance in this series.
Sweet New Series
Oh, I love this new series of books. From the first book in the series to the last, I was captured and taken to many places with many wonderful events. Yet the best part of this series is that it is about an Italian family, and I’m part Italian, this book had me wanting to research my heritage.
I LOVED all the imagines and flavors of this book. It really brought Italy and all the family traditions to life. If you enjoy good clean stories and LOVE Italian life and flair, you’ll love this book. Autumn Macarthur Is a wonderful author and gifted writer.
In this book, which is the last of the series, we get many answers to some of the mysteries throughout the series. As well as seeing how God can help heal old wounds and make wrongs, turn right. Forgiveness was a big part of this story and an important lesson we all need to learn.
I really appreciated how this author presented her characters with issues. Yet, only through the strength, mercy, forgiveness, and love of God could they find healing.
Now that the series is over, I’m not sure what I’ll do! I truly was blessed by this collection of stories and by the many different authors. I’ll be watching for more from them! Wonderful series!
A secret is going to be released in Villa Rossi while Raffaele and Jayne’s weeding. A secret that will change the past and affect the present and the future of all the family. The will need a lot of love, faith and for forgiviness to heal the bruises between all of them. A sweet story.
La Risposta by Autumn MacArthur
A story of forgiveness and reconciliation
My rating is 4.5 stars
Resentment and unforgiveness caused a seemingly unassailable wall between Teresa and Beppe despite, or perhaps because of 34 years of marriage. Each one had believed lies about the other and instead of talking things through, they allowed their wounds to fester.
La Rispota is such a tender and sensitive story. As Teresa and Beppe head to Italy to face the past they had hidden from, each one suspects it to be the end of their marriage. A marriage conceived through death, lies, and deception.
I was filled with a sense of melancholy as the book began and felt such empathy for the characters. Teresa’s unrequited love for her husband had caused her such pain, yet she continued to love him and stand by his side. As the details of the story unfolded, I was alternately hopeful and hurting.
Author Autumn MacArthur did a tremendous job of capturing my interest and retaining it throughout this beautiful story. Learning to forgive. Learning to communicate and trust. Learning the truth. And learning to seek the God who can give hope to the hopeless and restore the years the locust has eaten. That is the journey of this story.
The Tuscan Legacy series is a multi-author series about an Italian family. There is a common thread that ties the books together which comes to a conclusion in La Risposta. Each stands alone, yet interacts with the others as well. Though I have other books in the series, time has not allowed me to read any of them yet. It was obvious that there were backstories that I didn’t know, yet I didn’t feel like I was lost in reading this one.

I would like to thank Autumn MacArthur for giving me a copy of this book. This gift did not influence my opinion or review.
When Peppe tells Teresa that he is going to Tuscany she is shocked. Returning to Villa Rossi is going to be a big decision he may regret. Isabella Rossi is truly shocked when she recognized who Peppe is. The author will have you on the edge of your seat waiting to see what happens next. You will feel God working throughout this whole story. I had the honor to review this book for the author for a honest review. I would give this book a higher rating than a five star review if I could.
