"At the Cole School, where they had community singing
every morning the teacher noticed that
Jack
London remained silent. She asked him why. He replied
that she didn't know how to sing, that she would
spoil his voice because she flatted. The teacher
dispatched him to the principal to be punished. The
principal sent him back with a note saying that he could
be excused, but that he would have to write a composition
each morning for fifteen minutes of singing. Jack
ascribes his ability to write a thousand words every
morning to the habit formed in this class."

| |  | | | From The Publisher
When her mother dies, Augusta is bereft and without direction until she marries her first suitor, Karl, the shy son of a detestable old farmer. As a young woman with an eye for beauty who longs for affection, she finds life on their remote, rustic farm almost unbearable. When the local reverend offers the occasional afternoon relief from her cloistered existence, she accepts; when another man from the town shows interest, she feels herself drawn toward him. Eventually, she and Karl and their young daughter, Joy, move onto a farm of their own, and Augusta looks for new ways to assert her independence. It is not until she resurrects her mother's beekeeping equipment that sweet possibilities become evident. And as the strands of her life unexpectedly twist together, the indulgences of youth and the many delights and exasperations of old age are revealed.

a very good read
This book definately depicts the world of a disfunctional family. As you read into the book you get a better feel for the main character, Augusta, and how in some situations you can relate to her. You observe family affairs, lies, mistakes, and natural love between all the characters. By the end of the novel, you will probably understand the technique of bee keeping and be able to start your own hive business!
