Cuando Sara Foster se escapa de casa con dieciséis años, deja atrás a la niña que un día fue, capaz de desarrollar vínculos de confianza e intimidad. Años después, ya establecida en Los Ángeles, se ha convertido en una codiciada barman, conocida tanto por sus brillantes cocteles como por el misterio que le rodea. Al otro lado de la ciudad, Emilie Dubois esta estancada, anhelando la belleza y la comunidad que sus abuelos criollos cultivaron, pero incapaz de comprometerse con nada.

Cuando la antigua vida de Sara llama a su puerta, poniendo en duda todas sus creencias, lo hace en el preciso momento en que Emilie consigue comprender su proposito vital. Y entonces deberan decidir si su amor es mas fuerte que sus pasados. Tan exquisita como expansiva, asombrosa en humanidad y sensibilidad, Yerba Buena es una historia de amor de nuestro tiempo y un viaje transformadora traves de las vidas de dos mujeres que intentan encontrar un lugar, o a alguien, a quien llamar hogar.
