A novel of family, Midwestern values, hard work, fate, and the secrets of making world-class beer. Two sisters inherit a farm, but their father leaves everything to Helen, the younger daughter. While Helen builds a successful brewery with the motto "Drink lots. It's Blotz," her older sister Edith, despite her talent for baking award-winning pies, struggles to make a living and wonders how different her life could have been with a share of the farm's wealth. Helen's heart is as rigid as a steel keg, but she eventually finds herself in need of help, possibly from someone close to home. Meanwhile, Edith's granddaughter, Diana, understands that the real world demands resilience. She gets a chance to learn the IPA business from the ground up, which could change their fortunes and perhaps mend their fractured family. The story features a cast of lovable, humorous, quintessentially American characters striving to make their mark in a world that often works against them. In this deeply affecting family saga, resolution may take generations, but when it arrives, it surprises, moves, and delights us.
