By Salley VickersA strait-laced, recently retired teacher is about to make some changes in her quiet life following the unexpected death of her close friend and flatmate, Harriet. Julia Garnet impulsively decides to spend 6 weeks in Venice. There, for the first time in her life, she lets herself care for others, even falling in love for the first time. She also falls in love with the city and its architecture, and is enchanted by the apocryphal story of Tobit and the Angel, told in a series of panels. She has opportunities to reach out to others and make a difference in their lives in her own twilight years and realizes what she's been missing. So often, it is when we take ourselves outside of our familiar surroundings that we can feel free to serve, to soar, and to really fulfill our calling.
