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.

When she thought of her life as an artist, Aisleigh thought it would be absolutely divine. Her years at school did not prepare her, however, for the amount of work she would have to do getting herself "out there". Feel bogged down living in Zuzu City, she comes across an old letter left by her grandfather. Without a second thought, Aisleigh quickly quits her job at Joja Corporation and moves out to the countryside to her grandfather's farm, Ebony Acres.
Excited to make a fresh start, the harsh reality of starting over hits her square in the face. Trying to keep a brave appearance, she works tirelessly to rebuild Ebony Acres up to it's former glory. When she sees a star twinkling late at night, it seems to be fate that Sebastian would stumble upon her land. He is rough around the edges, his words are sharp. But, something about his distant personality only makes her think about him more. Will she create her happily ever after like her grandfather wanted or will someone else take the flame away?
