Back Cover:
To her family Natalie Seebring is a woman who prizes appearances: exquisitely mannered, a 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 of fifty eight years, her son and daughter are stunned. Faced with their dissapproval, Natalie decides to write a memoir.
Olivia Jones is a dreamer, living vicariously through the old photographs she restores. She and her daughter, Tess, 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 seems.
As the illusion of an idyllic exixtence comes crashing headlong into reality, the lives of these two woman, parallel in so many ways, become a powerful and moving story.
