When Sara Foster runs away from home at si xteen\, she leaves behind not only the losses that have shattered her worl d but the girl she once was\, capable of trust and intimacy. Years later\, in Los Angeles\, she is a sought-after bartender\, renowned as much for h er brilliant cocktails as for the mystery that clings to her. Across the c ity\, Emilie Dubois is in a holding pattern. In her seventh year and fifth major as an undergraduate\, she yearns for the beauty and community her C reole grandparents cultivated but is unable to commit. On a whim\, she tak es a job arranging flowers at the glamorous restaurant Yerba Buena and emb arks on an affair with the married owner.
\nWhen Sara catches sight of Emilie one morning at Yerba Buena\, their connection is immediate. But the damage both women carry\, and the choices they have made\, pulls them apart again and again. When Sara's old life catches up to her\, upending e verything she thought she wanted just as Emilie has finally gained her own sense of purpose\, they must decide if their love is more powerful than t heir pasts.
\nAt once exquisite and expansive\, astonishing in its h umanity and heart\, \;Yerba Buena \;is a love story for o ur time and a propulsive journey through the lives of two women finding th eir way in the world.
