Title: Valley fever
Description: "Ingrid Palamede never returns to places she's lived in the past. For her, 'whole neighborhoods, whole cities, can be ruined by the reasons you left.' But when her boyfriend Howard, en route to Aspen, breaks things off out of the blue, she's forced to return to her childhood home of Fresno, California. Back in the real wine country, where grapes are grown for mass producers like Gallo and Kendall-Jackson, Ingrid must confront her aging parents and their financial woes, soured friendships, and blissfully bad decisions"--
