Main Characters: Haley ♥, Sam, and Alex!
Margot Miller has always believed life is like a recipe: plan every step, measure every risk, and strive for perfection. But when her grandfather passes unexpectedly, leaving her a jam empire and a larger-than-life legacy to uphold, she is forced to face the flaws in her carefully constructed mindset. With a missing secret ingredient, hundreds of failed jam-making attempts, and the looming pressure of the Stardew Valley Fair drawing closer, Lewis instructs Margot to collaborate with her childhood friend turned high school nemesis, Haley -- a partnership that turns out to be anything but by the book.
As they work to figure out the last ingredient, they begin to uncover cryptic clues and life-changing, long-buried Miller family secrets. Together, they must face the truth that some recipes -- like life, love, and, of course, world-famous jam -- require a little mess to get just right. A story that explores unraveling resentment, suppressed sexuality, and the boundaries of love, "Where the Grape Vines Meet" captures the gut-wrenching coming-of-age experience through all its bitter -- and equally as sweet -- moments.

Haley thinks highly of herself and doesn't take kindly to people hurting the people she cared for. That includes the local farmer that she befriended. she doesn't know how to handle when he passes and his granddaughter, that abandoned him, shows up trying to take his place in the community.
Write's notes:
I always thought there could be more context to why Haley was so mean to the new farmer other than just - mean girl. Here is a starting idea. The lays a foundation. Please excuse and grammatical or spelling errors. Thank you!
