An Apiary Setting

 

He Should Have Told the Bees by Amanda Cox

Callie and Beckett have no idea the other exists until each are named in the trust of beekeeper George Walsh. As the two women are thrown together, they struggle to begin to understand what George intended and why.

Both have been damaged by the past.  But with help from each other and their friends and family, they begin to heal and discover that a new life is possible.

This story had some unusual elements including an apiary, a tornado and a small charming “alien.”  The characters were relatable and loveable, especially Fern.  The author leaves some questions unanswered but provides a satisfactory and believable conclusion.  I found myself wondering what would happen to the characters after the conclusion of the book, a sign of a well-written book.

I appreciate the complimentary copy of this arc, in return for this, my honest review.
