As a beekeeper I say, this is the best memoir of beekeeping I've yet to read. As an avid memoir-reader, I say this is the best memoir I've ever read. Interesting from first page to last, it not only covers beekeeping, but child-keeping, soul-saving, and without a whit of whining. Something so unusual in a memoir. Told through the eyes of the child of a schizophrenic, it has humor and love, brings to mind the writing of Haven Kimmel and her Zippy books. Whether you are interested in honey bees or not, you should really enjoy this read. Everyone I've recommended it to has loved it.
