Official synopsis Publisher
From the New York Times bestselling author of the “delicious beach read” (Booklist) A Week at the Shore, a moving and timeless tale of two women, a generation apart, whose dreams meet in an unexpected way.
To her family, Natalie Seebring is a woman who values appearance above all else as an exquisitely mannered, supportive wife and head of a successful wine-producing enterprise. So when she announces plans to marry a vineyard employee mere months after the death of her husband, her children are stunned. Faced with their disapproval, Natalie decides to write a memoir to fully explain.
Olivia Jones is a dreamer, living vicariously through the old photographs she restores. She and her daughter cling to the fantasy that a big, happy family is out there just waiting for them. When Natalie hires Olivia to help with her memoir, a summer at Natalie’s vineyard by the sea seems the perfect opportunity to live out that fantasy. But all is not as it appears to be.
As the illusion of an idyllic existence comes crashing into reality, the lives of two women, parallel in so many ways, collide in a way that will change both of them forever.
