Sweet as Honey
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
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 . . . ?
Includes tasty recipes!

Starred review from May 23, 2016
Beckstrand (Huckleberry Hearts) opens a series in her Wisconsin Amish setting with a “wonderful-gute” novel that celebrates women’s resourceful strength and pluck, rewarding the good-hearted who keep close to the spirit (if not the letter) of traditional values over those who are concerned with maintaining appearances but fail at human connection. The three Christner sisters live with their protective aunt Bitzi, whose sarcastic vocal prayers and habit of wearing earrings—a holdover from her Englisch days—break all protocol. They make a modest living through the hard work of keeping bees. Dan Kanagy returns from a trip full of teasing words for his longtime crush, Lily Christner, but his kindness and enthusiasm for helping with hive chores, mousetraps, and buggy rides are in notable contrast to the behavior of her fiancé, stingy, selfish, and judgmental Paul Glick, who is mostly concerned with grooming Lily to be a modest wife. Beckstrand humorously displays the awkwardness and immaturity of her young protagonists while uplifting them, and though readers will have a good idea of where the story is going, its unfolding is delightfully sweet. As a bonus, the beekeeping details are accurate, and Beckstrand includes some tasty recipes. Agent: Mary Sue Seymour, Seymour Agency.
