"New York Times" bestselling author Jennifer Chiaverini returns
with a Prohibition-era novel about one woman's journey to save her
family--and herself
With the nation in the throes of Prohibition, Rosa Diaz Barclay
unwittingly discovers that her husband, John, has given over the
duties of their Southern California rye farm in favor of armed
bootlegging. Fearing the safety of her four beloved children, Rosa
flees, with little more than a suitcase filled with John's
ill-gotten gains and her heirloom quilts. Accompanying her is Lars,
a good but flawed man who is the mother of two of her children.
Under assumed names, Lars and Rosa hire on at a Sonoma County
vineyard, seeking not only refuge from danger, but convalescence
for two of the children, who suffer from a mysterious wasting
disease. The devotion of the Italian-American community to the
craft of viticulture inspires Rosa to acquire a vineyard of her
own, even as she discovers firsthand its inherent hardships and
dangers winemakers face in such turbulent times.
