About this listen
Uncovering long-held family secrets may sting at first—but the result can be sweeter than honey
Beekeeper Beckett Walsh is living her dream, working alongside her father in their apiary, until his untimely death sends her world into a tailspin. She suddenly finds she must deal with a new part owner of the family business—one who is looking to sell the property. Beck cannot fathom why her father would put her into the position to lose everything they built together.
When Callie Peterson is named in the trust of a man she's never heard of, she's not sure what to do. Her fledgling business has just taken wing and her mother has reentered her life asking for help getting into rehab for her lifelong substance abuse issues, making Callie's financial situation rather . . . precarious. She's sure she has no right to someone else's farm, but the money from the sale could solve her problems and give her the stability she's always craved.
As these two women navigate their present conundrum, they will discover a complex and entangled past full of secrets—and the potential for a brighter future for both of them.

Story
A successful LA artist, Roman Velasco appears to have everything he could possibly want - money, women, fame. Only Grace Moore, his reluctant, newly hired personal assistant, knows how little he truly has. The demons of Roman's past seem to echo through the halls of his empty mansion and out across his breathtaking Topanga Canyon view. But Grace doesn't know how her boss secretly wrestles with those demons: by tagging buildings as the Bird, a notorious but unidentified graffiti artist - an alter ego that could destroy his career and land him in prison.

These are all worthy subjects. But the level of the book is not adult level
Predictable and geared toward young adult level
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
The author handles deeply sensitive topics in such a tender way…realistic and compelling, but without the painfully detailed and upsetting (to me, anyway) explicit descriptions so commonly found across most media today.
The story was uplifting and inspiring and truly heart-warming—even with the harsh realities these characters endured. I won’t drop any spoilers, but, ohhh, how I wanted to visit this setting—especially at the end!
So well-written…I hope the author will keep writing for a very long time!
Nearly forgot to mention: Stephanie Cozart is a MAGNIFICENT narrator!!!!
Absolutely love this book!
