Inizia da qui

by Colonna, Stella
Inizia da qui

Massimiliano is almost thirty and is good at handling other people’s pain, but not his own. A nurse in a residential care facility, he navigates life with a precarious balance, convinced that being useful to someone matters more than any career. When a forbidden gesture gives him, for the first time, the feeling of being truly needed, something inside him falls into place. But it doesn’t take long for everything to crack again: a final mission entrusted to him by a patient, a love that refuses to end, betrayed friendships, and failed attempts to save himself. Until his breakdown. And then, the unexpected chance to rise back up. Inizia da qui is the story of someone who watched their life shatter in their hands and had to learn, from scratch, how to put it back together.
