When the Sky Was Ours is a sweeping, soul-stirring novel about love, memory, and the quiet bravery of becoming yourself.
Amelia Bennett is a journalist who's spent the last decade chasing stories around the world-anything to avoid the one she left behind. When a magazine assignment takes her back to Florence, she's forced to confront the man she never truly stopped loving: Leo Moretti, an American photographer who once taught her how to see beauty in both the chaos and the quiet.
In the summer of 2012, their love story unfolded like a film reel-riding Vespas through Rome, whispering dreams under lemon trees, and dancing beneath fireworks in a foreign sky. But when Leo proposed, Amelia walked away. Now, ten years later, fate grants them a second chance-and the air between them still hums with everything unsaid.
As Amelia wanders ancient streets and unearths letters never sent, she must finally decide: Is love about who feels safe, or who feels like home?
Told in a lyrical blend of past and present, When the Sky Was Ours is a novel about the ways we remember, the people who change us, and the courage it takes to return-not to someone else, but to yourself.
