And when long-buried family secrets uproot her plans, a treasured memento from Aunt Vivian’s past could provide the key to Samantha’s future. Set against a backdrop of breathtaking beauty, comes an irresistible tale of two women-- generations apart, but united by strength of spirit, and the power of a beverage to make dreams come true.
