CASANOVALTA
“A love story, a creative adventure, and a journey of transformation in Tuscany.”
NEW BOOK
Hello friends,
I’m so excited to share my new book with you!
CASANOVALTA was born from the pages of my own journal during a chapter of my life that was both challenging and magical.
It tells the story of moving to rural Tuscany with my husband, Craig, to restore a centuries-old stone farmhouse. What unfolded was more than just a renovation—it became a journey of
resilience, creativity, and deep transformation.
There were freezing winters, cultural surprises, laughter, and moments that tested us to our core… but also unforgettable beauty, art, food, and friendships that changed me forever.
CASANOVALTA is part love story, part creative adventure, and in-part a memoir of discovery. My hope is that as you read, you’ll feel transported to the hills of Tuscany and perhaps be inspired to embrace the unexpected chapters in your own life.
"Anita Eubank is the most useful architectural historian I've ever met! A history like this had to be written so that we could all read and experience it ourselves. One of the best experiences of my life!"

"The glowingly illustrated recipes are written as though we've just taken a walk with the author in the Tuscan hills and are now in her kitchen, turning the bounty into goodness."

THE RAINBOW OF HOPE
This is a tale about a beloved soul who comes to earth, discovers itself in a dark place, and starts on a journey to find the light.
Feeling so alone, the soul searches, struggles, and longingly asks, "Where is the Light?" Step by step, with many surprises along the way, at long last the soul finds "The Rainbow of Hope", the essence of Love and Light.
Vividly illustrated and filled with humor, charm, and innocence, this remarkable parable carries an inspiring message of hope for young and old alike.
“Such a pure message, stated in a simple and beautiful way, combined with exquisite art…
I was very moved!”

How The Story Came To Anita
After a heartfelt prayer, I received The Rainbow of Hope in a completely unique way. During meditation, I felt a swirl of energy and words began to flow out as if I were a flute being played by God. The story arrived fully formed—lyrical and deeply moving. It seemed like I was hearing the story of my own soul being told—and yet I knew it was entirely universal.
Several years later, I made an audio-visual version of the story narrating in the same sing-song voice in which it first came. John-Henri composed an original musical score called The Rainbow of Hope Symphony—synchronized with flowing images of Gary Politzer’s evocative artwork.
Please enjoy this offering from my heart.
