In the midst of the relentless pace and high-stakes world of the corporate realm, triumph often exacts a toll, unending hours, unyielding devotion, and a life consumed by conference rooms and deals. Adaline Westwood, commanding the role of CEO within a flourishing enterprise, lived this truth daily. Her existence consisted of a whirlwind of meetings, emails, and calculated choices, leaving scarce space for anything beyond. Her domain was one of refined suits, modern offices, and a tenacious drive pushing her ahead. Yet life possesses an uncanny ability to astonish, and for Adaline, the astonishment materialized through an unanticipated inheritance, a struggling vineyard tucked away within an idyllic countryside. The bequest of a distant relative thrust her into a world she had never fathomed, one of expansive vineyards, sun-drenched hills, and the allure of cultivating wine. Her steps hesitant and her willingness reluctant, Adaline embarks upon a journey that transitions her from the realm of boardrooms to that of the vineyard. As her feet touch the picturesque landscape, she crosses paths with Malik Reyes, an affable and composed vintner equally resolute in preserving the vineyard's legacy. Their temperaments clash, their universes appearing irreparably divergent. Nonetheless, destiny has intricately woven their trajectories, and they find themselves linked by the destiny of the vineyard. While grappling with disparities and a burgeoning attraction, Adaline and Malik must learn to traverse life's intricacies amidst the vines. "From Boardroom to Vineyard" weaves a tale of metamorphosis, where two spirits from contrasting spheres find commonality amid the allure of nature and the craft of viniculture. It narrates a chronicle of affection, evolution, and the revelation that life's genuine treasures might exist beyond the bounds of aspiration and accomplishment. Embark on this enchanting odyssey alongside Adaline and Malik as they labor to harmonize their differences and uncover the enchantment that can blossom amidst the tendrils of the vine. Will they unearth not solely triumph for the vineyard, but also a love that transcends the confines of their disparate lives? Allow the narrative of "From Boardroom to Vineyard" to unfold, carrying you upon an unforgettable venture of self-discovery and romance.

7 continents and 100 countries that changed my life. Rob Sangster was chased by a Cape buffalo in Botswana and then by a corrupt Governor in Tennessee, both having malicious intent. He spent one New Year's Eve in Paradise Bay, Antarctica, and the next as a guest of the wealthiest smuggler in the Himalayas. He swam with whale sharks in the Gulf of Thailand and spent the night on top of a Mayan temple in Guatemala while a revolution raged below. Before those and many other adventures, Rob had been racing up a conventional career path as an attorney, government policy-maker, and business executive—a work-a-holic with ever-increasing responsibilities. Then—at age thirty-eight—he made a course correction and took charge of his life. Traveling to distant places became his passion—asking questions, turning corners, and taking risks—all of which were more important than earning the last possible dollar. When he cut the padlock off his old sea chest two years ago, very personal letters and thirty thick journals inside revealed the reasons behind his life-changing decision decades earlier and led to the writing of this memoir. Praise for From Boardroom to Backpack: "From Boardroom to Backpack is a great ride made more rewarding by the insights and perspectives Sangster shares with the reader. He has a keen eye for the events that shape our lives and our view of humanity."—Tim Leffel, editor of Perceptive Travel, and author of A Better Life for Half the Price "Life-changing for anyone who hungers for far horizons."—Bob Sehlinger, Unofficial Guide Creator About the Author: Rob Sangster earned a BA from Stanford, an MA from the UCLA School of Architecture & Urban Planning, and a JD from Stanford Law School. After becoming a partner in a distinguished Los Angeles law firm, he administered national housing programs then dedicated himself to developing homes for low-income persons. He is also an award-winning novelist, restaurateur, and avid sailor who has travelled in more than 100 countries and on seven continents.
