Red Mountain: A Novel (Red Mountain Chronicles Book 1)

Red Mountain follows four residents of a wine-growing community in eastern Washington. Otis Till is a visionary winemaker known for eccentric behavior. Margot Pierce, a single mother, moved across the country to build an inn but struggles with her circumstances. Emilia Forester, a high school senior, is the daughter of celebrity parents and works to establish her own identity. Brooks Baker carries trauma from his past as an orphan living on the streets. Though these four live together in harmony, their lives intertwined like the vineyards surrounding them, each harbors secrets. When these secrets surface and dysfunction emerges, the community faces a test: will it emerge stronger, or will relationships fracture? Told from multiple perspectives with detailed descriptions of wine country life, the novel explores how well people truly know one another in a small community where privacy is difficult to maintain.
