Join Claudia and her Italian-American father, Victor, as they navigate Italy by foot and rail. From the affluent city of Milan, to the economically-depressed streets of Naples, 500 miles due south, Claudia leads the reader into the pulsating heart throb of Italy's historic downtowns and enjoys a culture unblemished by big box architecture and "jacked up monster pick up trucks." As the duo ventures deeper into the Italian landscape, self-reflection seeps into Claudia's consciousness, as a second story begins to emerge. With the cobbled streets of Italy as the framework for her memoir, she is revisited by a life-threatening disease and a mountain climbing expedition in the Andes that plunge Claudia into her own personal vision quest.

Some people collect stamps. Other people collect coins. Carol Otis Hurst's father collected rocks. Nobody ever thought his obsession would amount to anything. They said, "You've got rocks in your head" and "There's no money in rocks." But year after year he kept on collecting, trading, displaying, and labeling his rocks. The Depression forced the family to sell their gas station and their house, but his interest in rocks never wavered. And in the end the science museum he had visited so often realized that a person with rocks in his head was just what was needed. Anyone who has ever felt a little out of step with the world will identify with this true story of a man who followed his heart and his passion.

They will all show the wonder, fascination and fun she gets to witness every day in her pre-school in Wichita, KS. Her hands-on curriculum is largely devoted to having students outdoors to enjoy the fresh air and nature. Just like Kim's mother taught her and like Kim has tried to teach her own daughter, (who always seems to find the heart-shaped rocks.)
