The Winemakers: A Novel of Wine and Secrets

It's 1956, and Caterina Rosetta is a young woman who grew up in the sumptuous world of a California vineyard. She is her mother's beloved only child, but now in her early 20s, Caterina holds a terrible secret that threatens to drive them apart. And that's just the beginning. When Caterina inherits a cottage in Italy from a grandmother she never knew existed, she realizes that her mother has a hidden past. The revelation of a decades-old murder could destroy everything Caterina holds dear, including her relationship with the man she loves. Moran's (Scent of Triumph) style is pleasant, flowing, and at times sensuous. Caterina is a dream of a protagonist, and her mother, for all her flaws, is relatable as a parent so desperate to see her child happy and prosperous that she will do whatever it takes. Readers will devour this page-turner as the mystery and passions spin out.
