The Honey Bus: A Memoir of Loss, Courage and a Girl Saved by Bees by Meredith MayMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Meredith knew her parents fought a lot, but her world was turned upside down when her mother left her father and moved them to live with her grandparents in California. Her mother could not cope with the ending of her marriage and isolated herself from everyone. Meredith tried to just stay out of everyone’s way until her grandfather invited her to help with his beekeeping. She now had a way to escape her hectic reality and learn life lessons from these small creatures along the way.
The Honey Bus is a poignant memoir that reads like a novel. This book takes readers through the early years of a confused child and gives them a chance to watch her grow into a strong young lady. The memoir parts are great, but so are the lessons about bees and beekeeping. I recommend The Honey Bus to those who enjoyed The Glass Castle and The Secret Lives of Bees. It is a wonderful story about making a home where love is and the truths that can be learned about the life of bees.
