Solo in Salento: A Memoir

Donna Keel Armer's first trip to Italy in 1995 compelled her to return over and over. She fell in love with the place: the mystery, the magic, the music, the martyrs, and the marvelous food. She hoped one day she'd share these treasures with the rest of the world. Donna graduated cum laude with a double major in psychology and social sciences with graduate studies in theology. Donna has published numerous articles, along with her photography, on travel, food, human interest, and home and garden in South Carolina magazines, and teamed up with the Order of the Sons of Italy in Columbia, SC, to produce Bella Cucina Italiana, a cookbook featuring her photography. She was president of a hospitality business she and her husband created in Southwest Georgia. They now live in Beaufort, SC, where she volunteers at the Pat Conroy Literary Center and Hunting Island State Park.
