Before We Say Goodbye: A Red Mountain Novel

An epic love story unfolds in a heart-stirring prequel to the Red Mountain Chronicles by Boo Walker, the bestselling author of An Unfinished Story and An Echo in Time. In Washington State’s Red Mountain wine country, Otis and Rebecca’s bond was one for the ages. Now older, and reflecting on his blessings and his losses, Otis is moved to write down the love story of their lives. At Woodstock in 1969, two lost souls with big hearts and boundless dreams see the future and all its possibilities in each other’s eyes. Before the music is even over, Otis is thunderstruck by the liberating Rebecca, so much so that he’s suddenly questioning his attendance at Berkeley and decision to follow in his father’s footsteps as a journalist. When he first sets eyes on the vineyards of Sonoma, where Rebecca is from, the captivating idea of a life in wine further mars his path. Would it be so crazy to chase a dream? Impulsively married, unquestionably devoted, Otis and Rebecca are thirsty to see what happens next—wherever it takes them and no matter how hard it gets. Over the decades, from Sonoma to the delightfully eccentric community of Red Mountain, Otis and Rebecca fight against all odds to work their way to the top of the wine world. But neither of them could have imagined the darkness to come, or what it will take to find a spark of light once again. View Less
