Description


The touching story of one couple's decision to start a vineyard in France, where they fear nothing more than the destruction of a sudden cold snap

Frost can be fatal to a fledgling wine business. . . it's a gorgeous glitter with a high price tag. On a winter’s day it is beautiful, but on a spring day after bud burst it spells devastation. For Sean and Caro Feely, a couple whose love affair with wine and France has taken them through financial and physical struggle to create their organic vineyard, it could spell the end. Until they receive an unexpected call that could save their skins. . . This book is about life, love, and taking risks, while transforming a piece of land into a flourishing vineyard and making a new life in France.
