Decanted by Linda Sheehan

Decanted by Linda Sheehan

From author Linda Sheehan, who's part of a Napa wine dynasty, comes a story of grapes, wine, first crushes, and juicy redemption. Dreading the desk job that awaits her after high school, eighteen year-old Vivian Goodyear takes off for pre-World War II Paris, where she supports herself as an artist's model.

Flash forward to modern day Manhattan where, inspired by Vivian's courage, her grandniece Samantha leaves her pressure cooker career to work the grape harvest in France. There, between picking grapes in the vineyard and crushing them in the cellar, she gets lessons in the art of making wine and in the art of making love. But when her world is turned upside down, a link from Aunt Vivian's past could right it in a tale of being on top, sinking to the bottom, and coming up for glorious air.
