MASS MARKETAnother Indie FavoriteThe Honey Bus: A Memoir of Loss, Courage and a Girl Saved by Bees, by Meredith May (Park Row, $16.99) “I loved this perfect memoir so much that I read it twice and already know that it will be one of my favorites of the year. Meredith May learns to withstand pain, loss, and grief through the lessons her beloved grandfather teaches her. Grandpa shows May and her brother love, patience, and understanding using honeybees as an example of how to survive and thrive in a confusing world. I cannot wait to put this moving, emotionally compelling memoir into many hands this spring!” —Diane Grumhaus, Lake Forest Book Store, Lake Forest, IL
