But the damage both women carry, and the choices they have made, pulls them apart again and again.

The morning Emilie and Sara first meet at Yerba Buena, their connection is immediate. On a whim, she takes a job arranging flowers at the glamorous restaurant Yerba Buena and embarks on an affair with the married owner. Across the city, Emilie Dubois is in a holding pattern, yearning for the beauty and community her Creole grandparents cultivated but unable to commit. Years later, in Los Angeles, she is a sought-after bartender, renowned as much for her brilliant cocktails as for the mystery that clings to her.

When Sara Foster runs away from home at sixteen, she leaves behind the girl she once was, capable of trust and intimacy.
