The Beekeeper's Son By Kelly Irvin


Sometimes it takes a barren landscape to see the beauty of God’s creation.
Phineas King knows better than to expect anything but shock and pity wherever he shows his face. Horribly scarred from the tragic accident that claimed his mother’s life, he chooses to keep his distance from everyone, focusing his time and energy on the bees his family raises. If no one sees him, no one can judge him. So why does he start finding excuses to seek out Deborah Lantz, the beautiful new arrival in town?
Deborah can’t get out of Bee County, Texas, soon enough. Once her mother and younger siblings are settled, she is on the first bus out of this dusty town. She is only waiting on the letter from Aaron, asking her to return to lush Tennessee to be his fraa. But that letter never comes. As she spends time getting to know Phineas—hoping to uncover the man beneath the scars—she begins to realize that she no longer minds that Aaron hasn’t sent for her.
As both Deborah and Phineas try to come to terms with lives that haven’t turned out the way they imagined, they discover that perhaps Gott’s plans for them are more extraordinary than they could have dreamed. But they need to let go of their own past sorrows and disappointments to find the joy and beauty that lies just ahead for them both.

Oh my Oh My are you ready to be edified? This is one very different Amish book but OH so good.
I love Deborah and Phineas  so mush you have never meet a character like Phineas before and may never will again.
You are going to LOVE this book so much that you will not be able to move once you start reading it.
I must say that this is Kelly's best book to date.
I gave this book 5 stars two times and I HIGHLY recommend it. I read and review so many books each year I am unable to keep them all, it has to be a super, fantastic, book in order for me to keep a copy on my book shelf you can bet that this one will remain on my shelf and I will reread it.
I was given a copy of this book by the publisher for my honest review.
