The book has all the nuances* of the emotional spectrum in relationships between spouses, siblings*, and friends without being overly dramatic. The pace of the storytelling is steady with enough suspense to keep readers turning pages until the end. Georgia Ford grew up in Sonoma California on her parent’s vineyard — a labor of love her father pursued as a second career. Just a week before her wedding, as she stands in the window of the dress shop for a final fitting of her wedding gown*, she sees her fiancé* with another woman and a small child walking down the street. Sadly, she finds that he has kept secret a child he had with this famous, beautiful woman. Georgia’s resulting confusion and emotional turmoil* sends her home to the vineyard and her family to sort things out and decide what she really wants. Upon arriving home, Georgia discovers that not only is her relationship in danger, but that her parents are basically separated and that her brothers are at odds* over one brother’s wife. The security and stability of the family home/business is further shaken when she learns that her father is selling the vineyard he so patiently and lovingly nurtured to a big business that produces wine for the masses. All of these story lines are woven together with satisfying solutions at the end of the book. (SD-Agencies) |
