Holly calls her mother The Queen Bee because she's a demanding hulk of a woman. Her mother, a devoted hypochondriac, might be unaware that she's quite ill but that doesn't stop her from tormenting Holly. To escape the drama, Holly's sister Leslie married and moved away, wanting little to do with island life. Holly's escape is to submerge herself in the lives of the two young boys next door and their widowed father, Archie. Her world is upended when the more flamboyant Leslie returns and both sisters, polar opposites, fixate on what's happening in their neighbor's home. Is Archie really in love with that awful ice queen of a woman? If Archie marries her, what will become of his little boys? Restless Leslie is desperate for validation after her imploded marriage, squandering her favors on any and all takers. Their mother ups her game in an uproarious and theatrical downward spiral. Scandalized Holly is talking to her honey bees a mile a minute, as though they'll give her a solution to all the chaos. Maybe they will."-- $c Provided by publisher. 541 $d 20220101. 650 $a Women beekeepers $v Fiction. 650 $a Mothers and daughters $v Fiction. 650 $a Sisters $v Fiction. 651 $a South Carolina $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. 830 $a Lowcountry tales ; ; $v 12. 941 $a 1 952 $l KKPB566 $d 20230404013116.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EC5B67BAD2B011ED872B743748ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
