What a beautiful story of two strangers thrown together only to find family, healing and restoration.
Callie’s dream is about to become reality, but when her mother walks back into her life, everything comes crashing down. Beckett’s world revolved around her family’s apiary farm, but when her dad dies of a heart attack, everything she believed to be true about her life is challenged.
There’s a lot to love about this story.
The characters are rich, three-dimensional, relatable, and characters you’d like to meet in-person. Though the story is about Callie and Beckett, there’s a lot of substance to the others – Annette, Isaac, Luke, and little Fern.
The bees are significant to the storyline. They serve as a connection between a struggling young girl, and a grieving Beckett. Memories are beautifully woven as Beckett continues taking care of bees and planning for the future. Parallels from nature to the story world’s reality were poignant.
As the story unfolds, the past is seamlessly connected to the present as Beckett and Callie learn more about each other and the impossible situation they are faced with.
Faith is intricately crafted into the lives of both main characters, and the truths that others speak into their lives are truths that so many of us need to hear.
This is a compelling read, and I highly recommend it.
