There are secrets you share, and secrets you hide… What if the one you love fiancé, he from the crinkly smile and irresistible British accent, had kept a life-changing secret on the subject of Eight Hundred Grapes: A Novel from you? And imagine if, just a week before your wish wedding, you discovered it?

Georgia Ford, bride-to-be, hops in her car and drives through the night, from LA to Sonoma, to her safe and sound haven: her family, and the acclaimed family members winery. Georgia craves the business of those who know her best, and whom she really knows. Even better, it’s the eve of the last harvest-the best time of the developing season, and Georgia knows she’ll find solace-and distraction-in the familiar rituals. But when Georgia will come home, there is nothing whatsoever familiar. Her parents, her brothers, the family business, are all unrecognizable. It appears her fiancé isn’t the only person who’s been keeping secrets…

Eight 100 Grapes is a story about the messy realities of family members, the strength (and weaknesses) of intimate love, and the importance of finding a location to call house. “This winning story will both satisfy on a literary level and motivate oenophiles to put themselves a glass of a recent classic to enjoy while reading; it’s a tasty treat for wines enthusiasts and teetotalers as well” (Publishers Weekly). You won’t have the ability to put this “addictive” (Us Regular) book down.
