Jak daleko může být místo, kam opravdu patříte? Třicetiletá Hannah má před promocí na ekonomické škole v Berkeley v Kalifornii. Čeká ji vysněná budoucnost – slibná kariéra v New Yorku v prosperující firmě, skvělé finanční ohodnocení a společný život s partnerem Ethanem. Než se z Kalifornie definitivně odstěhují, vyrážejí si na poslední společný víkend do Sonomy, vinařského regionu. Ať už za to může zdejší lahodné víno, malebná krajina, nebo rázovití lidé – vše tak odlišné od zrychleného, rušného života v New Yorku –, Hannah začíná přehodnocovat nejen své rozhodnutí vrátit se do velkoměsta, ale i svůj partnerský vztah. Dostane pracovní nabídku od jednoho vinařství, které má finanční problémy, a rozhodne se tuto výzvu přijmout. Co ji čeká? Zvládne dělat práci, ke které se zavázala, a pomůže vinařství z krize? Najde cestu sama k sobě? Nebo i novou lásku?

A charming and redemptive novel about unexpected second chances, following a publicist who, after the sudden implosion of her career, takes a job as a dorm mom at a Sonoma boarding school that happens to be her alma materGillian thought she had everything she ever wanted—as a successful publicist running her own Manhattan firm and working with a high-profile-celebrity clientele, she finally made herself at home among the elite who eluded her throughout her youth. That is, until her career implodes, leaving her jobless, friendless, and with a googleable reputation that follows her everywhere. So, when she receives an offer to become a “dorm mom” at Glen Ellen Academy, the prestigious Sonoma boarding school she attended two decades earlier on scholarship, she leaps at the opportunity for a change of scene—at least until she can figure out how to rehabilitate her career. But Gillian is surprised to find herself enjoying her new life: her role as a mentor is unexpectedly fulfilling, she finds a community, and most surprisingly of all she runs into an old flame from her own time at school, who is just as dashing now as he was then. However, just as she begins to feel comfortable, a scandal surfaces on campus that threatens to derail everything, and Gillian must figure out how to save her job, her students, her friends, and her new romance before it’s too late.
