Sara Foster and Emilie Dubois arrived in LA in two very different ways, but they meet at the restaurant Yerba Buena - a place where Emilie grew up going on special occasions with her family and is her dream job, and Sara is starting as head bartender after fighting her way up from a rough start.
Emilie's family moved to Southern California after WWII, when many Black and Creole families left the south.
Sara grew up in Northern California and took care of her brother after their mother died. Her father is in and out of jail. Which is way she chose to go to LA with a virtual stranger instead of staying at home.
LaCour is one of my favorite storytellers. Ever since I read her book Everything Leads to You I was hooked! Read this author!
