The Beekeeper's Ball

The Beekeeper's Ball (Bella Vista Chronicles, #2)The Beekeeper's Ball by Susan Wiggs
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bella Vista Chronicles, #2 picks up with Isabel slowly turning her home into a cooking school. The land complete with a barn, beehives, and an apple orchard will lend itself to reserved parties and wedding receptions. The lovely, reserved Isabel has a secret but so does her beloved Danish grandfather Magnus and family friend Annelise. This will be the summer season to free all secrets and feel liberated from guilt and pain.

An excellent book - I did not know about the Danish Resistance (Holger Danske), the Lebensborn program, and how King Christian and his people fought back against the Nazi regime. It is also a story of sharing those secrets that imprison us and hold us captive to old fears.
