![]() I enjoyed this deeply moving story of a struggling little girl, and I thought Candace Thaxton did an excellent job as the narrator. Meredith grows, matures and gains strength and confidence while also finding a kindly school friend. Meredith and her brother do spend happy times with their father and his new wife, and Meredith sometimes wonders if they should have chosen to stay with him instead of her mother-but she loves her grandfather and the bees too much to leave.Ī sometimes angering, sometimes sad look at a very common occurrence nowadays-divorce. The bees teach Meredith about what a family should be-how each type of bee has a job to do and they all do things for the good of the hive or family. He fills the 2 children with the life lessons and the love, attention and affection they so desperately need. ![]() Meredith spends time with her grandfather, learning all about beekeeping. ![]() Meredith’s mother retreats into a bedroom, rejecting motherhood and sinking into self pity and depression letting HER own mother baby her and shoo her children away. Another new author for me, named Meredith May! One of the more “real” stories out there-a memoir! It tells us about a young girl, Meredith and her brother, Matthew, who are uprooted when their parents are divorcing…they accompany their mom to their grandparents home. ![]()
