An exquisite debut that combines a moving tale of friendship with a fascinating primer on bees.--People This heartwarming, uplifting story will make you want to call your own friends, not to mention grab some honey.--Good Housekeeping Three lonely strangers in a rural Oregon town, each working through grief and life''s curveballs, are brought together by happenstance on a local honeybee farm where they find surprising friendship, healing--and maybe even a second chance--just when they least expect it. Forty-four-year-old Alice Holtzman is stuck in a dead-end job, bereft of family, and now reeling from the unexpected death of her husband. Alice has begun having panic attacks whenever she thinks about how her life hasn''t turned out the way she dreamed. Even the beloved honeybees she raises in her spare time aren''t helping her feel better these days.In the grip of a panic attack, she nearly collides with Jake--a troubled, paraplegic teenager with the tallest mohawk in Hood River County--while carrying 120,000 honeybees in the back of her pickup truck. Charmed by Jake''s sincere interest in her bees and seeking to rescue him from his toxic home life, Alice surprises herself by inviting Jake to her farm. And then there''s Harry, a twenty-four-year-old with debilitating social anxiety who is desperate for work. When he applies to Alice''s ad for part-time farm help, he''s shocked to find himself hired. As an unexpected friendship blossoms among Alice, Jake, and Harry, a nefarious pesticide company moves to town, threatening the local honeybee population and illuminating deep-seated corruption in the community. The unlikely trio must unite for the sake of the bees--and in the process, they just might forge a new future for themselves.Beautifully moving, warm, and uplifting, The Music of Bees is about the power of friendship, compassion in the face of loss, and finding the courage to start over (at any age) when things don''t turn out the way you expect. A hopeful, uplifting story about the power of chosen family and newfound home and beginning again . . . but its the bees, with all their wonder and intricacy and intrigue, that make this story sing.--Laurie Frankel, New York Times bestselling author of This Is How It Always Is "Eileen Garvin''s debut novel is uplifting, funny, bold, and inspirational. The Music of Bees sings!" --Adriana Trigiani, New York Times bestselling author
