The Lemieux family’s ambition to establish an American winemaking dynasty takes a young couple from pastoral Napa to the Paris World’s Fair and into the colorful heart of early 20th-century San Francisco
It is 1897, and the newly married Sara and Philippe Lemieux are determined to make their Napa vineyard into a world-renowned enterprise. But with the new century arrives the threat of a dangerous blight on their grape vines and talk of a looming prohibition. Closer to home, fiercely independent Sara is having a difficult time adjusting to the role of wife and mother.
An invitation to the World’s Fair seems to rejuvenate both the business and Sara and Philippe’s marriage, but a secret from Philippe’s past and Sara’s passion for the cause of women’s rights may derail all that they have worked for. Sara gains an ally when her friend Marie Chevreau arrives as the first female surgery student to be admitted to the prestigious Cooper Medical College. However, fate has other plans in store for the Lemieux family in the spring of 1906, when a massive earthquake rocks northern California. Will the unstoppable events overwhelm Sara and Philippe’s future, despite their love for each other?
