Produktbeschreibung
"He doesn't look like a grape, so why would you pay attention to his face?" Kate's best friend jokes (sort of). The family vineyard nestles on the gentle slopes of Oregon's Willamette Valley, and Kate's only goal is to be the best winemaker she can be. Nothing is more important than nursing her grapes-until The Uncle's final demand sets her on a course to save her family's legacy - and her own independence. Kate is a modern woman: independent, vulnerable, and funny. Follow her journey as it parallels the development of her Pinot Noir grapes, accompanied by her family and friends, their rescue horses, and a dog with a penchant for eating, and rolling in, anything stinky. The Uncle should never have bet against her. A compelling and heartwarming story of a woman dedicated to her craft, staring down a future determined by her late, very patriarchal uncle. The emotional connection she has to her family and friends is touching and often funny.
Autorenporträt
Leigh Barrett is from South Africa and lived in Eugene, Oregon for 18 years before returning home to write. "I spent much of my life in the world of journalism, writing about food insecurity and genocide and other humanitarian or newsy topics. An evening at a local writing group encouraged me to try switching to fiction, and what a fun ride it is!"Currently settled on top of an ancient mountain and between two beautiful coastlines, Leigh is committed to writing the kind of relatable stories that will have you cheering for the feisty, intelligent, vulnerable women who inhabit them. The locations are as much a character as the people, her penchant for research adds value to an easy read, and the humor peeks through, mostly when you least expect it.
