Description
"Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of New York Times bestselling author Dorothea Benton Frank's Carolina Lowcountry in this evocative tale that returns at long last to her beloved Sullivan's Island. Beekeeper Holly McNee Kensen quietly lives in a world of her own on Sullivan's Island, tending her hives and working at the local island library. Holly calls her mother The Queen Beebecause she's a demanding hulk of a woman. Her mother, a devoted hypochondriac, might be unaware that she's quiteill but that doesn't stop her from tormenting Holly. To escape the drama, Holly's sister Leslie married and moved away, wanting little to do with island life. Holly's escape is to submerge herself in the lives of the two young boys next door and their widowed father, Archie. Herworld is upended when the more flamboyant Leslie returns and both sisters, polar opposites, fixate on what's happening in their neighbor's home. Is Archie really in love with that awful ice queen of a woman? If Archie marries her, what will become of his little boys? RestlessLeslie is desperate for validation after her imploded marriage, squandering her favors on any and all takers. Their mother ups her game in an uproarious and theatrical downward spiral. Scandalized Holly is talking to her honeybees a mile a minute, as though they'll give her a solution to all the chaos. Maybe they will. Queen Bee is aclassic Lowcountry Tale--warm, wise and hilarious,it roars with humanity and a dropperful of whodunit added forgood measure by an unseen hand. In her twentieth novel,Dorothea Benton Frank brings us back to her beloved islandwith an unforgettable story where the Lowcountry magic of the natural world collides with the beat of the human heart"--
