From the author of Huckleberry Hearts, an Amish beekeeper torn between two men must decide who gets to keep her heart and who gets the sting of rejection.
Smart, kind, and good-hearted, the three Christner girls are affectionately known as the Honeybee Sisters in the beloved Wisconsin Amish community where, under the care of their unconventional aunt, they've grown into skilled beekeepersâand lovely, sought-after young women . . .
Though she has blossomed into a beauty, Lily Christner doesn't really believe it. Deep down, she still feels like a lonely, gawky teenager. Maybe that's why she's all but promised herself to Paul Glick, the one boy who never teased her in her awkward girlhoodâunlike Dan Kanagy, whose creative name-calling left her in tears many a time. Now he's back in town after two years awayâand being surprisingly sweet, suspiciously attentiveâand making Lily unsettlingly yet deliciously nervous. It seems Dan wants Lily's forgivenessâand her heart. But can he convince herânot to mention her protective schwesters and aendiâthat despite the past, her future lies with him . . . ?
