Praise for Revamp
“A wisdom-filled memoir that doubles as a sweeping travelogue reaching from Boston to Sardinia and back again. Gorgeously written and culturally astute." - Matthew Gilbert, The Boston Globe.
“Beautifully constructed, evocative and emotional, this author's first non-fiction story will capture
your heart and mind. Read it and you will find yourself there too. It shouts: When is the movie coming out?” - Karen Gross, author and
educator; former President of Southern Vermont College and Senior Advisor to the
U.S. Department of Education.
“Pam Reynolds writes with
an abundance of wit, warmth and grace” - Ed Siegel, founding editor and critic-at-large at WBUR’s The ARTery.

About the Book
When a big-city journalist quits her dream job to move to a remote Italian island for love, she discovers a whole new life beyond the romantic fantasies of Italy spun by books and movies. Struggling to adapt to a different culture, she buys a quirky house in the Sardinian countryside, goes to art school and becomes obsessed with home improvement and renovation. Ultimately, her ex-pat adventure opens her world to making and embracing art in life and home, understanding, ultimately that home is where the "art" is.
