The Honey Bus: A Memoir of Loss, Courage and a Girl Saved by Bees

When she was five years old, Meredith May was abandoned by both parents. Her father left for the other side of the country. Her mother disappeared into herself.

But when Meredith discovered the rusted old bus where her grandpa kept bees, her world changed forever.

Family duty. Compassion and sacrifice. Unconditional love. The life of a honeybee displays it all. As her grandpa showed her the sacrifices bees make for their colony and the bonds they form with their keeper, Meredith discovered what family really means.

A rich and lyrical coming-of-age story, combined with spellbinding nature writing, is the extraordinary story of a girl who journeyed into the hive – and found herself.The Honey Bus

is a memoir about a girl’s journey into the heart of a beehive to find herself.The Honey Bus: A Girl Raised by Bees
