Jim Braddock, a successful surgeon practicing in San Francisco is married to Gretchen whom he met in Germany. It is 1982 and everything seems to be going smoothly in his life. Their son, Steve, is in his senior year of high school and is aiming to follow in his fathers footsteps. His wife is interested in metaphysics, claims she believes in reincarnation, and studies theosophy. Jim looks askance on her preoccupation and dismisses it as a fad. Unexpectedly, he suffers a serious heart attack, is rushed to the hospital and while his colleagues frantically work to save him, he is thrust into a near death experience. In it, he meets his long dead professor who shows him several episodes from two of Jims previous lives, one in 1715 France and the other in 1881 Russia. He meets the woman he loves in both incarnations and through a series of dramatic events learns that his behavior has caused inevitable consequences in each of his succeeding lives. He recovers a wiser and better man and takes his wife on a second honeymoon, humbly grateful for being given another chance at life. Tragedy strikes unexpectedly and leaves the family shattered. But after several years, his son, who is now a physician himself, married, and is expecting a child, hears his fathers story and is stunned by what he learns. A strange event occurs, and the drama unfolds to a remarkable conclusion.
In the tradition of his New York Times bestseller, Napa, James Conaway picks up the story he began a decade ago. The Far Side of Eden offers "a fascinating look at the political side of the wine revolution that put California's Napa Valley on the world map" (Miami Herald). Now, Conaway reveals, Napa is awash in dollars generated by the boom economy and the social ambitions it inspired. The valley is beset by new arrivals determined to have vineyards of their own and by cult-wine producers in thrall to fabulously expensive "rocket juice" (cabernet sauvignon) that few locals can afford - while established families wish to hold on to the old ways, and camp followers get caught up in the glamour of it all. Conaway, long known for his controversial, compulsively readable social reporting, here "indicts the wave of new-money millionaires from Silicon Valley, who have brought with them gaudy displays of wealth -- building so-called 'McMansions' and planting 'vanity vineyards'" (Los Angeles Times). "A cautionary tale . . . [with] a seductive pull" (San Francisco Chronicle), The Far Side of Eden takes us to the frontlines of America's ongoing conflicts over money, land, and power to tell a story that has ramifications for us all.
