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.
