From Eileen Garvin, nationally bestselling author of The Music of Bees and Crow Talk, a heartwarming new story that returns to the vibrant world of beekeeping in a small Oregon town
Beekeeper Jake Stevenson should be celebrating. After winning a prestigious culinary award, his fledging honey farm has been inundated with orders. But as he approaches his largest harvest ever, Jake is worried. He can’t seem to hire any helpers, and there’s no way he can do it all by himself.
Meanwhile Flaco López, a Mexican teen sent north by his mother to escape growing danger in his village, has become separated from his companions and is lost on Mount Hood—hungry, scared, and alone—when he stumbles upon Jake’s beehives in a high alpine meadow.
And Abigail Plue, an entomology graduate student who prefers insects to people, is studying Mount Hood’s threatened Western bumblebee—and her research might be the only thing standing between the pristine wilderness and a controversial plan championed by a local rabble rouser, would-be Sheriff Dewitt, to build a commercial hunting camp there.
As Dewitt becomes increasingly strident in his calls to detain local immigrants, Flaco faces the growing danger of being an undocumented minor. And Jake and Abigail, confronting the potential destruction of the honeybees, bumblebees, and the wild meadow in which they thrive, must come together to protect everything they hold dear.
