PRAISE FOR THE LITERATI
“Your heart will grow after reading Elizabeth Bass Parman’s sweet and tender sophomore novel Bees in June. Rennie is the kind of character you can’t stop rooting for, and I read with a mix of tears and joy until the final breathtaking finale. A tribute to the human spirit and one woman’s desire to remake herself, this novel should be on everyone's TBR list.”
—Brooke Lea Foster, author of Our Last Vineyard Summer
“Bees in June is the kind of novel that wraps itself around your heart and doesn’t let go. Elizabeth Bass Parman has created a world so rich with charm and quiet magic that you’ll want to pack your bags and move straight to Spark, Tennessee. The characters—especially Rennie—are beautifully real, and the story glows with warmth, resilience, and the kind of hope that stirs your soul. This book is a heartfelt reminder that healing can be found in unexpected places, and that sometimes, if we listen closely, the bees might just lead us home.”
—Jennifer Moorman, USA TODAY bestselling author of The Vanishing of Josephine Reynolds
