What is this book about?
Tressa Harlowe's father did not trust banks, but neither did he trust his greedy extended family. He kept his vast fortune hidden somewhere on his estate in the south of England and died suddenly, without telling anyone where he had concealed it. Tressa and her ailing mother are left with a mansion and an immense vineyard and no money to run it. It doesn't take long for a bevy of opportunists to flock to the estate under the guise of offering condolences. Tressa knows what they're really up to. She'll have to work with the rough and rusticated vineyard manager…
A life-giving alternative to basing our worth on productivity, this spiritual formation book invites us to learn how to flourish spiritually in the care of a loving Gardener and Jesus, the True Vine. I read it twice to deepen my takeaway.
A novel of unlikely friendships forged through a series of spiritual formation classes, this book takes readers on a journey of faith. It encouraged my faith.

When the missing persons case ties into the murder, Landon fears she’s placed herself on the villain’s hit list. With her mistakes mounting and her personal life imploding, can Landon uncover the truth—and maybe open the door to a family reunion—before she stands face to face with a killer?
