When Natalie Seebring, seventy-six, announces plans to marry within months of
the death of her husband of fifty-eight years, her son and daughter are
stunned.
In the face of their disapproval, Natalie decides it's time to talk about the
past and reveal the secrets she has kept for decades. She hires Olivia Jones,
an
incorrigible dreamer, to help write her memoir and invites Olivia and her
daughter Tess to spend the summer at the family vineyard. As summer deepens and
the vineyard's crop ripens, Natalie's story unfolds and startles one family
member after another. While Olivia's fantasy of finding a welcoming family for
herself and Tess remains as tenuous as the success of the season's crop,
Natalie's unraveling life story offers lessons for her, too. Perhaps most
important is learning to accept the reality of a good life over the fantasy of
one that will always seem better. Ultimately, in a tale that mirrors the
vineyard summer, days of hope and fear lead to a sweet harvest for all.
