This novel is as Midwestern as saying “Ope! ‘Scuse me!” after bumping into someone.

Sisters Edith and Helen stopped speaking after their father left Helen the entire family inheritance to found a brewery. Fifty years later, Edith struggles to make ends meet while raising her orphaned granddaughter, who is furiously developing an IPA of her own.

J.Ryan Stradal has written the friendliest family saga about betrayal, brewing beer, and the good things that come from hard work.
