You can find my review of this book on Library of Clean Reads, along with my interview of Marilyn, the author. Several of the people featured in the book are part of the fashion world, and we all know Italy is capital of the fashion world. Lisa-Marie Mazzucco is one of the women interviewed in this book. Although she married the world-renowned Italian fashion photographer Raphael Mazzucco, Lisa-Marie forged her own career through sheer creativity, after raising her son. Her story resonated with me. But I liked every single one of the stories in this book.

About the Author:
Marilyn R. Wilson is a freelance writer and editor with a passion for interviewing. It all began in 2006 when the she answered a Craigslist ad from a NY magazine asking for story submissions. Two were accepted. The first live interview was life changing and Wilson has never looked back. With over 150 interviews now behind her, the love of interviewing is still as strong as ever. Whether through a random encounter on the New York subway or via a “one-on-one” interview with an internationally recognized artist, the goal is the same—to share the unique journeys of inspiring individuals.
In 2007, this goal led the author to co-launch a successful, innovative magazine focused on professionals working in the fashion industry, paired with photography and illustrations by local artists. Now on staff at Raine Magazine (NY/Miami/LA), as well as freelancing for other publications, Wilson has taken her passion to a new audience with the release of her first book.
