This book could not have been properly written without the love and support of many, many people. Just a few of those people are: Karmen Viitanen, Aya Felling, Tamar Elmensdorp-Lijzenga, Katie Sharp, Crystal Johnson, Trisha Wooldridge, Kym Detato, and everyone who makes up the #AlienSquad
I wouldn’t be sane enough to write without Dusty Alexander and Sarah Hamilton. There’s no way to list all of the things you have done to make my life better, all the personal jokes, all the beautiful moments. We’ve left some glittery, crazy trails of awesome everywhere we’ve been together. You girls are the Dev to my Griffin.
Thank you to my amazing publisher Crimson Tree, for making this happen!
Thank you to the amazing ladies I’ve met at concerts, before concerts, after concerts, while waiting for concerts, or just online talking about concerts. You inspire me more than you will ever know, and I hope Daisy is a heroine you can truly love and relate to.
Thank you to the Concord Starbucks crew, The Fabulous Miss Charlotte Raines, and Michael (that pep talk, though!), Jennifer AP, Kate Kaynak, and Sophie. Thank you Gonia, Nic, David, Josh, and Cecile for London. Thank you to my fashion and Project Runway/BPR crew. Thank you Brittany Foster and Anthony Villalta for being so kind.

Anica Tomlin, business major, has just learned that the man she's been planning her future around, her Global Finance professor, already has a beautiful wife and family. Ani cashes in her graduation gift to herself a little early—a trip to Tuscany—but from the moment she boards the wrong train in Pisa, her plans for solitude and self-indulgence begin to unravel around her.
When a bicycle accident thrusts Ani into the skilled hands of the dashing Dr. Cosimo Lazzaro, she reluctantly accepts his invitation to recover in his family's country villa, perched on a hilltop surrounded by the Lazzaro olive groves. But it's been a black year for olive growers all over Italy, and generations of tradition are being put to the test like never before.
Ani is swept up in the drama of life in Tuscany, the convergence of old and new, and the passions that drive people to pursue the desires of their hearts. Just as Ani begins to get her feet under her again, an unexpected turn of events leaves her doubting the very existence of happily-ever-after, unless she can learn to trust the desires of her own heart.
All the Way to Heaven offers readers a unique flavor with its references to composer Giacomo Puccini, and in particular, his opera La rondine. While visiting the quaint, medieval city of Lucca, Italy, birthplace and stomping grounds of the brilliant Puccini, Becky knew she'd find a way to use it as the setting for an international romance novel. When news reports began airing, labelling 2014 "The Black Year" for Italian olive growers, it felt like the opportune time to bring Lucca, also renowned for its unique olive oils, out of the idea box and onto the pages. Although All the Way to Heaven is a stand-alone novel, it is the first book in The Fallout Series, a collection of sweet contemporary romances that follow characters featured in the first book.
