That her mama is going to be hospitalized for months like she was last time. With her daddy struggling to save the farm and her mama in denial about what’s happening, it’s up to Della to heal her mama for good. And she knows just how she’ll do it: with a jar of the Bee Lady’s magic honey, which has mended the wounds and woes of Maryville, North Carolina, for generations. But when the Bee Lady says that the solution might have less to do with fixing Mama’s brain and more to do with healing her own heart, Della must learn that love means accepting her mama just as she is.

This is an imaginative and inspiring tale of how the watermelon came to share the story of Jesus (Yahshua). The story is told through the perspective of the Gethsemane garden characters—the olive trees, the animals, the rocks, and the birds. Readers of all ages will never view a watermelon or nature the same way again! God’s Plan for your Life Begins with Your Salvation Jesus said, “Ask, and it will be given to you: seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” (Matthew 7:7) Ask God to reveal Himself to you. Start by reading the New Testament in the Bible. Remember, He lives, and though you may not be able to see Him with your eyes, you will be able to sense Him by His presence. Seek Him daily as you would your family and friends. Say to God that you know you are not perfect and have sinned. Jesus was the only one who kept all of the commandments and never sinned. If you have even told one lie, you have a seed of sin. Romans 3:23 says, “For all have sinned and all short of the glory of God.” Knock for understanding and knowledge to be revealed. He will hear you and answer. One day, Jesus will knock on your heart’s door. He will stand there until you open the door and invite Him in. he will never force His way in nor let Himself into your heart without your invitation. Then pray when you want to invite Jesus into your heart and ask for forgiveness of your sins. You will then be born again spiritually by the Holy Spirit living in your heart. You will turn from a self-directed life and turn to a life God has planned for you. You now know God as Father, God as Son, and God as the Holy Spirit living in you and through you. Your eternal life in Heaven is now secure by the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

February the fifteenth is a very special day for me. It is the day I gave birth to my first child. It is also the day my husband left me...I can only assume the two events weren't entirely unrelated. Claire has everything she ever wanted: a husband she adores, a great apartment, a good job. Then, on the day she gives birth to their first baby, James informs her that he's leaving her. Claire is left with a newborn daughter, a broken heart, and a postpartum body that she can hardly bear to look at. She decides to go home to Dublin. And there, sheltered by the love of a quirky family, she gets better. So much so, in fact, that when James slithers back into her life, he's in for a bit of a surprise.
