Publisher's Summary:
The Loire Valley, 1895. When 17-year-old Sara Thibault's father is killed in a mudslide, her mother sells their vineyard to a rival family whose eldest son marries Sara's sister, Lydia. But a violent tragedy compels Sara and her sister to flee to New York, forcing Sara to put aside her dream of following in her father's footsteps as a master winemaker. Meanwhile, Philippe Lemieux has arrived in California with the ambition of owning the largest vineyard in Napa by 1900. When he receives word of his brother's death in France, he resolves to bring the killer to justice.
Sara has traveled to California in hopes of making her own way in the winemaking world. When she encounters Philippe in a Napa vineyard, they are instantly drawn to one another, but Sara knows he is the one man who could return her family's vineyard to her - or send her straight to the guillotine.
A riveting tale of betrayal, retribution, love, and redemption, Kristen Harnisch's debut novel immerses listeners in the rich vineyard culture of both the Old and New Worlds, the burgeoning cities of late 19th-century America, and a spirited heroine's fight to determine her destiny.

A beautiful novel that transports the reader back in time...
From the very first page The Vintnerâs Daughter by Kristen Harnisch held me rapt within its pages. It transports us back to the 1800âs and into vineyard life at the turn of the century. It is historical fiction at its best offering us a bit of romance, love, hope, and an interesting look into the wine-making process during this time so long ago.
Sara Thibault is a young woman to admire. Living in a time when women were generally thought of to only belong in a kitchen she fought to prove otherwise. Her one dream is to work and eventually run her familyâs vineyard. Her father indulges her quite a lot in this as he has no son but the fact remains she is a woman and her only duty is to marry and have children. When Saraâs father dies in no tragic accident her life changes forever.
To Saraâs horror and dismay her mother sells their family vineyard to a rival of her father and his eldest son marries Saraâs sister Lydia. Once again tragedy strikes and Sara and Lydia are forced to escape to New York. However Saraâs hardships arenât over and it isnât long before she forced to move on again, this time to California where she hopes to get into the wine-making business.
The one thing she didnât bargain on was meeting a man there who could melt her heart and have her believing in love and marriage. Yet this man, this man who has stolen her heart also has the power to destroy her for they share a bond that he knows nothing about. If he learns the truth about Sara will she once more lose all that matters to her?
The Vintnerâs Daughter was a really good read â one of my favorites this year. Sara, with her strength and independence is a great character and I connected with her and her story instantly. The Vintnerâs Daughter is the debut novel from Kristen Harnisch and is the first in a series portraying vineyard life at the turn of the century.
