Summary:
Two years ago, without a word of explanation, Francesca DeAngelo's husband, Jake, moved out, leaving her with a hundred-year-old vineyard, their six-year-old son and her youthful, feisty mother-in-law, Julianne Harris. On the surface, Francesca has managed very nicely on her own, but that is about to change. A huge corporation, represented by the smooth, persuasive Mitchell Gillette, is determined to mass-produce wine in the valley, putting small independent vintners out of business. Unbelievably, Francesca's sensible, matter-of-fact mother-in-law has fallen head over heels for him and, to make matters worse, a reformed Jake wants to come home. Friendship, love and family loyalty are tested when two generations of women are forced to take a hard look at the mistakes they've made, the dreams they still hold and the possibility that love deserves a second chance.
