Two great books in one great collection! From #1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery and award-winning journalist Meredith May, two stories of family and the unexpected places we come to call home.
When We Found Home by Susan Mallery
“Heartwarming…this book will appeal to readers who enjoy the intricacies of family drama.”—Publishers Weekly
Callie Smith doesn’t love being alone in this world, but at least it’s safe. So it’s hard to know how to feel when she discovers she has a brother and a sister. Despite her trepidation, Callie moves into the grand family home with her new siblings and grandfather on the shores of Lake Washington, hoping just maybe this will be the start of a whole new life. But starting over can be messy. Becoming a family will take patience, humor, a little bit of wine and a whole lot of love.
A masterful exploration of a modern family—blended by surprise, not by choice—and how those complicated relationships can add surprising richness to life.
The Honey Bus by Meredith May
An extraordinary story of a girl, her grandfather and one of nature’s most mysterious and beguiling creatures: the honeybee.
Meredith May was five years old when her parents split and she suddenly found herself in the care of her grandfather. An eccentric beekeeper who made honey in a rusty old military bus, Grandpa showed her that everything she needed to know about life and family was right before her eyes, in the secret world of bees.
May forged an unbreakable bond with her grandfather and the bees became a guiding force in her life, teaching her about family, love, and survival. Part memoir, part beekeeping odyssey, The Honey Bus is an unforgettable story about finding home in the most unusual of places, and how a tiny, little-understood insect could save a life.
Genre: General Fiction
