Bee-Coming

The second book in the international-selling Bee's Flowers series will whisk you away on a journey with two of your favorite Bee women.

"Corlet Dawn takes you through time, across generations, and ages of the Bee family. You will mourn with and celebrate the joys of two of the main characters as they become women and discover who they are." Amy E. Goodreads Review

"Corlet Dawn has the ability to create characters that seem real - whether a young woman who travels to Woodstock in a VW bus in '69 or a recent high-school graduate who tours Europe solo in the 21st Century." Pi Amazon Review 

Grab your suitcase and hold on for a wild ride as you join the Bee women on a journey of self-discovery. In Bee's Flowers, you met Rachel as a married adult with two children. In Bee-Coming, you get to meet Rachel as a high school senior. She has her life planned out and is looking forward to starting her pleasant, calm future as an English major with the hopes of marrying her high school sweetheart and living a white picket fence life. After her favorite teacher gives Rachel some unwanted advice, Rachel is left wondering where she should go in her life. Is she boring? Too controlling? Grandma Betty, the sassy creator of Bee's Flowers, will take you on her journey as well, starting as a high school senior in the late 1960s. You will get to see her fighting for what she wants during a time of turmoil in the world. Betty wants nothing more than to start her flower business, even though her mother would prefer that Betty become a secretary. Being 18 in 1969 has its own set of challenges as she and her peers deal with the Vietnam War. As Rachel and Betty each embark on their own adventure, you'll get a glimpse into each woman's private thoughts as they document the state of their lives in letters, emails, and diary entries. Each woman's journey ends up being necessary to help them discover who they want and are meant to be. Bee-Coming isn't always easy. 

EXCERPT: "I'm not sure if I've ever told you the story of how I started Bee's Flowers," my grandma began.

I'd heard it my entire life, so I was surprised she would ask. "Of course, I know the story," I replied.

"Well," my grandma continued, "You know that my grandfather gave me some money to help fund Bee's?"

I, of course, always sensed that they had a special relationship. You could tell every time we visited my great-great-grandpa that Grandma Betty was special to him. I had never grasped the importance of his involvement in the success of Bee's Flowers, and I was looking forward to hearing more of the story.

REVIEWS: "I enjoyed this book more than the first (which was hard). I spent a lot of time crying while reading this and will be getting as many of my friends to read it as I can!" Jen P. Amazon Review
