Where the Vines Remember: Some roots run deep. Some love is worth finding again.

By Mark Jessen

Five years after losing his wife, Eli Hawthorne has made his Door County winery both a refuge and a prison. He pours his grief into every vintage while raising his ten-year-old daughter, who longs to see him embrace life again.

Then Rebecca Jensen returns to Bailey's Harbor carrying heartbreak of her own. Their reluctant connection deepens through shared work, small-town interference, and the quiet beauty of the vineyard.

Rebecca sees the man beneath Eli's grief. Eli sees a future he thought he had lost.

But loving again means risking the memories he has spent years protecting. Can two wounded hearts find a way forward, or will the past keep them rooted where they are?
