This book is a true story about finding one's forever home-literally and spiritually. It depicts the life of a woman who lived mostly solo. In this tale set in southeastern England in the 1960s, Vanessa grew up within a working class family whose values taught her to always appreciate the countryside, consider others, and care about animals. These values stayed with her even after her parents' painful divorce, when she was forced to move to the city to start a new life with her mother. From then on, it seemed as though she had been blessed with good fortune by finding a good job and home of her own, where she could indulge her love of the countryside and animals once more. There were special romances along the way and so many parties and good times thrown in that she wondered if life could possibly get any better. What she hadn't considered was that life could actually get worse-much worse-and it did. Suddenly she was faced with uncertainty and had to question and understand what had happened and where her self-belief was. The person she had once been and the wonderful life she had once known had completely disappeared, and now she was left facing her biggest challenge yet. Could a hopeful heart be enough? It had to be; it was all she had.

The Sacred Home in Renaissance Italy explores the rich devotional life of the Italian household between 1450 and 1600. Rejecting the enduring stereotype of the Renaissance as a secular age, this interdisciplinary study reveals the home to have been an important site of spiritual revitalization. Books, buildings, objects, spaces, images, and archival sources are scrutinized to cast new light on the many ways in which religion infused daily life within the household. Acts of devotion, from routine prayers to extraordinary religious experiences such as miracles and visions, frequently took place at home amid the joys and trials of domestic life — from childbirth and marriage to sickness and death. Breaking free from the usual focus on Venice, Florence, and Rome, The Sacred Home investigates practices of piety across the Italian peninsula, with particular attention paid to the city of Naples, the Marche, and the Venetian mainland. It also looks beyond the elite to consider artisanal and lower-status households, and reveals gender and age as factors that powerfully conditioned religious experience. Recovering a host of lost voices and compelling narratives at the intersection between the divine and the everyday, The Sacred Home offers unprecedented glimpses through the keyhole into the spiritual lives of Renaissance Italians.
