I read Adriana Trigiani's novel, Very Valentine, when it published ten years ago and thought it would make a fantastic movie. I'm so happy that Lifetime made it their initial Books to Screen production. Kelen Coleman was perfect as Valentine, just as I pictured her in the book. The scenery was gorgeous, the family story wonderful, and I loved that it honored the passion that people have for their creative work. Jacqueline Bissett was a delight as Teodora, and how great it was to see a mature love story portrayed. I hope they make the other two books in the Valentine series into movies too.
