HE SHOULD HAVE TOLD THE BEES BY AMANDA COX


Beekeeper Beckett Walsh is living her dream, working alongside her father in their apiary, until his untimely death sends her world into a tailspin. She suddenly finds she must deal with a new part owner of the family business--one who is looking to sell the property. Beck cannot fathom why her father would put her into the position to lose everything they built together.

When Callie Peterson is named in the trust of a man she's never heard of, she's not sure what to do. Her fledgling business has just taken wing and her mother has reentered her life asking for help getting into rehab for her lifelong substance abuse issues, making Callie's financial situation rather . . . precarious. She's sure she has no right to someone else's farm, but the money from the sale could solve her problems and give her the stability she's always craved.

As these two women navigate their present conundrum, they will discover a complex and entangled past full of secrets--and the potential for a brighter future for both of them.



MY REVIEW

Very moving story that brings us together as we follow the characters through trials. We see that bees play a big part in the storytelling which for me was a symbol of working together and becoming a family. The sisters are trying  to figure out life and build a bond. They are different yet both yearn for acceptance and love. 

It is an emotional story that draws readers to discover  secrets, mental health and other sensitive subjects that  the author handles  very well. At times it is hard to describe what is going  on  but it is because I was drawn to their depth  of emotions I couldn’t find the right words. A past that unravels slowly brings  this story full circle. 

I received a copy of this book from Revell Reads .
