This is a spellbinding saga from a true storyteller.Catherine Rodriguez' happy childhood is ended forever by the suicide of her mother and the re-marriage of her father. Sent to live with her aunt in farmhouse above the rich vineyards of the Douro valley in Portugal, she lives, loves and grows up.It is not until Catherine is grown that her father, Walter Shellard, reappears, as ruthless about his daughter's future as he is about his business empire. He presumes her malleable like all the women he's known, and at first it seems that way. But Walter has forgotten that she is her father's daughter; like him she is quick-minded, with a natural aptitude for business. More importantly, Catherine has never forgotten her mother, and never forgiven him for marrying someone else. One day she will have her revenge.
