Fire in the canyon : a novel
(Book)

"Since his release from prison, where he served a eighteen-month sentence for growing cannabis, Benjamin Hecht has grown increasingly reclusive. He keeps busy cultivating a dozen acres of grapes outside the town of Natoma, California, but he interacts with almost no one, except for his wife, Ada, and almost never leaves his farm. Most notably, his relationship with his son, Yoel, whose trust he betrayed years ago, has continued to degrade. When Yoel comes up from Los Angeles for a visit in early June, a wildfire sweeps through the region, forcing the Hecht family to flee to the coast, and setting in motion a chain of events that will transform them all"--,Provided by publisher.
