Sara E. Braca has always been curious about pretty much everything, which almost explains how she accidentally became a Renaissance woman living in a medieval Italian city. A graduate of Dartmouth College and Wharton, she is now a solo traveler, marketing executive, yoga instructor, cat mom, and wine enthusiast. Her passion for finding joy in her single life and empowering others to do the same drove her to add \u201cdebut memoirist\u201d to this list. She lives in Tuscany.<\/p>\n

Braca\u2019s debut memoir, When the Church Burns Down, Cancel the Wedding<\/em>, will be available this fall in bookstores, libraries, and wherever you buy books online.<\/p>\n
