About this eBook

In the wake of being unceremoniously fired from her Manhattan-based copy editor position at a wine magazine, Hale Martin must now pack her bags and head to her grandmother's funeral. She hasn't been home to Haven Harbor, Florida, in five years, and still fragile from her recent divorce, her heart isn't into putting up with her oddball family and the town she grew up in. Along with all the tears, flowers, and mystery ingredient casseroles, the funeral also brings painful memories and shocking secrets. Hale finds comfort in her appreciation of wine, her dream of being a novelist, and the rekindling of her friendship with her old high school crush, Jordan Valvano. In her search for answers, direction, and purpose, Hale just might find true love--and better still, herself.

Bestselling author, Marley Gibson, brings a heart-warming, often comical, emotional roller-coaster of a ride in her new women’s fiction book, YOU HAD ME AT MERLOT.

Ratings and reviews

Definitely not what I was expecting. A heartfelt story of a family dealing with loss and maneuvering relationships, career, and divorce. different than anything I've read before.

"A drive by shooting in a bad neighborhood couldn't be as bad as..." or something like that. This is in the first chapter. Insensitive author.

Deleted after a few chapters. I kept waiting for the storyline to pick up, but it just drags & drags.
