She's armed with logic, science, and a healthy dose of sarcasm. But finding herself might mean breaking her own rules.
Northern Italy, 1997. Ready to leave the angst, loneliness, and heavy expectations of her teens behind, Lee (Leda Balni) enters college with a singular mission: build a happy life entirely on her own terms. Recovering from an eating disorder and finally at peace with her male soul trapped in a female body, Lee is determined to prove that self-reliance is the ultimate shield. Who needs the chaos of romance when you're busy navigating a demanding degree in genetic engineering?
But life in Milan has other plans.
From zooming on a scooter through fashionable city streets to seeking quiet clarity by the breathtaking Northern lakes, Lee's carefully structured world quickly becomes a messy, comically honest mix of science and emotional intelligence. Just when she has classified love as a dangerous distraction to be avoided like the plague, she stumbles straight into her soulmate.
Now, the ultimate experiment begins. Can a fiercely independent scientist-in-the-making allow someone else into her world without losing herself?
Blending vibrant 90s nostalgia with a deeply honest exploration of identity, Finding Leda is an empowering, funny, and deeply relatable journey about what it truly takes to find meaning in your own existence—and the brilliant chaos of letting the right people see you.

90s Nostalgia: A richly atmospheric portrait capturing the specific magic, music, and grit of European youth culture in the late 1990s. Identity & Chosen Family: A powerful, nuanced exploration of gender identity, women in STEM, and the beautiful, supportive bonds of chosen family. A Relatable Quest for Joy: A refreshing, witty, and emotional look at using every tool at your disposal—from intuition to intellect—to build happiness from the ground up.Finding Leda is the fifth installment of The Italian Saga, but can be read completely as a standalone.
Perfect for fans of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and I'll Give You the Sun, this is an empowering story about finding yourself outside of romance... even when star-crossed love refuses to be ignored.
