Description
From the Dust Jacket
When Natalie Seebring announces only months after the death of her husband of fifty-eight years that she plans to marry the man who has been manager of the family’s Rhode Island vineyard, her children are stunned and upset. In an effort to help them to understand, she decides to write a memoir. To assist her, she hires Olivia Jones, a young woman who yearns for a family of her own. Hoping to find in Natalie an idealized surrogate mother for herself—and a grandmother figure for her young daughter— Olivia, an inveterate dreamer, is instead caught up in a Seebring family crisis while trying to come to terms with her own past. The lives of these two women of different generations, parallel in so many ways, provide The Vineyard with a powerful and moving story, as the fantasy of an idealized life, complete with perfect romance, crashes headlong into reality.

Shipping Options
Generally sent the same day payment arrives. Unless you request otherwise, I will wrap the book in plastic wrap to help protect it from the elements, create a custom-made cardboard box to ship it in, and send via Media Mail with Delivery Confirmation tracking. See the shipping page for the cost to send a three-pound Media Mail package. Insurance is an additional cost as described. I am delighted to combine postage and insurance costs if you purchase more than one item. The second item may travel for free or just a few cents more — so it’s worth taking a look at my other items before you complete your order.
