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 beekeepers—and 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 girlhood—unlike Dan Kanagy, whose creative name-calling left her in tears many a time. Now he’s back in town after two years away—and being surprisingly sweet, suspiciously attentive—and making Lily unsettlingly yet deliciously nervous. It seems Dan wants Lily’s forgiveness—and her heart. But can he convince her—not to mention her protective schwesters and aendi—that despite the past, her future lies with him . . . ?
