The Illuminated Vineyard — Jean Moynahan

In Oregon's wine country, Rachel Jarvis, a recent widow, notices a young stranger walking hurriedly from a neighbor's vineyard. On an impulse that will change her life forever, Rachel hires the young man, Michael, as a temporary handyman even though there is a recent arson fire that is yet unsolved in her small rural town. Soon there is another, more serious crime to solve. Brady Devon, a local petty criminal, is brutally murdered in her neighbor's vineyard only a week after Michael and Cara, his traveling companion, begin staying in Rachel's guesthouse.

Lyrical and psychologically intense, The Illuminated Vineyard explores what occurs when unresolved conflicts from the past not only haunt the present but threaten to destroy it.
