Never having read a memoir before, I wasn't sure what to expect or if I'd enjoy it. As I read through this, the tale of the Life of Lucia, from her childhood growing up in a vineyard in an Italian family and her deep love for where she came from I felt it heartwarming. I got sucked into her personal troubles, tragedies, the happy moments and the mundane. Sullivan weaves a lovely tale in the backdrop of the wine country, surrounded by love and loss and lessons learned.

The book is touching, heart warming and heart wrenching at times. The author does a great job with the feel of this book and allowing readers to step into the enchanting story.
