Trees full of ripe almonds and three women in search of happiness. Sophie has left rural California behind for a life in the big city. But then she unexpectedly inherits her grandmother Hattie's almond farm, where she spent many wonderful summers as a child. Should she really give up her job and take over the farm? Not only does the scent of freshly roasted almonds awaken memories of days gone by, but her former best friend Lydia and her first love Jack also contribute to Sophie being soon confronted with her past. And then there are the wise words of her late grandmother, which always help Sophie when she feels lost – and perhaps even lead her to great happiness.
