A tragic accident. A mother undone by grief. A friendship shattered. White Dog Winery on the shores of Lake Erie is home to Parker, her husband Wade, and their children; eighteen-year-old Isaac and ten-year-old Tess. Their lives are busy and full with a successful business and one child on his way to college in the fall. Even better, Valerie, Isaac's steady girlfriend, is the daughter of their best friends, Mark and Nikki Wallace. But life can change in an instant.
