Affectionately dubbed The Honeybee Sisters in their Wisconsin Amish community, the three Christner girls are devoted beekeepers who are coming-of-age—and discovering the sweet surprise of love…
Shy, skittish Rose Christner is more comfortable tending to the beehives on the family farm and keeping her aunt’s unruly cats in line than attending social gatherings with the rest of the die youngie. A childhood trauma and secret shame keep her heart under lock and key, and Rose just can’t accept the sweet attention she’s receiving from a handsome neighbor. But the more she shies away from Josiah Yoder, the more their families sneakily plot to bring them together. And when a vandal who’s been plaguing the Honeybee Farm starts targeting Rose, Josiah’s steadfast protection—and patience—just may lead her into his waiting arms.

About The Author
Jennifer Beckstrand grew up with a steady diet of William Shakespeare and Jane Austen.
After all that literary immersion, I naturally decided to get a degree in
mathematics, which came in handy when one of my six children needed help with
homework. After my fourth daughter was born, I started writing. By juggling
diaper changes, soccer games, music lessons, laundry, and two more children, I
finished my first manuscript—a Western—in just under fourteen years.
I have always been fascinated by the Amish way of life and now write
Inspirational Amish Romance. I am drawn to the strong faith of the Plain people
and admire the importance they put on enduring family ties. I have visited and
studied Amish communities in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin where I met with a
bishop and a minister as well as several Amish mamms, dats, and children. It
has always impressed me at what salt-of-the-earth people they are. My
interactions with these kind people have been some of the most rewarding
experiences of my life. I have a dear Amish friend with whom I correspond in
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. She helps me keep my facts straight and gives
me inspiration for my stories.
My goal is to write uplifting, inspiring stories with happy endings and
hopeful messages. If my books make readers want to give themselves a big hug or
jump up and down for joy, I’ve done my job. I am a member of Romance Writers of
America and American Christian Fiction Writers and am represented by Mary Sue
Seymour of The Seymour Agency.
There are three Amish romances in the Forever After in Apple Lake
Series (Summerside/Guideposts). Kate’s Song, Rebecca’s Rose, and Miriam’s Quilt
are all now available.
I have six Amish Roamish buggymances in the works with Kensington
Books. The first and second books, Huckleberry Hill and Huckleberry Summer, are
now available in stores and online. The Matchmakers of Huckleberry Hill is set
in northern Wisconsin Amish country.
The series, The Matchmakers of Huckleberry Hill, is about an elderly
Amish couple who try to find suitable mates for their grandchildren. What could
be more fun than throwing two young people together to see if sparks ignite? No
one would ever suspect two octogenarian Amish folks of mischief.
Romantic Times gave Huckleberry Hill 4 1/2 stars and chose Huckleberry
Summer as a TOP PICK.
I have four daughters, two sons, three sons-in-law,
and two adorable grandsons. I live in the foothills of the Wasatch Front with
my husband and one son still left at home.

This is the third and final book in the Honeybee Sister’s Series, and the book wraps up beautifully. We learn some of the reasons why Rose is so shy and the hurts she holds herself responsible for.
We have already read Lily’s and Poppy’s story of their romances, and hope that Rose will finally have a chance to let go of the pain that she holds in her heart.
Aunt Bitsy is still keeping a strong hold on her girls, and some of those boys whom you are not to feed, get the stink eye from her!
While the family is still being terrorized by someone, we hope that the culprit will finally be found out before someone is hurt, who would do all of these horrible things to them, and why?
I really hate to let these people go, and yet it seem great to finally find out the answers, don’t let this great read pass you by. Also be ready for some great laugh out loud chuckles.
I received this book through Zebra Publishing and was not required to give a positive review.
