A beautifully crafted story that gripped me from the first page. The Beekeeper's Question is a moving tale of one family's journey through World War II, both at home and overseas. So richly written that the characters feel like friends, and it's bittersweet when the story ends. I held my breath as this beekeeper family faced everything life and war hurled their way. Christina Baldwin stirs this story with the breath of our ancestors, reminding us of the best we come from.

-Sarri Gilman, author of Cocoon World War II, the western Homefront, battle-torn lovers, generations in crisis-this important story echoes between the 1940s and now, illuminating the journey of ordinary families in the crucible of war. A great book club conversation for America today.
-Michael Lerner, MacArthur Fellow, founder of Commonweal In the tradition of Elizabeth Strout (Olive Kittredge) and in the Montana territory of Ivan Doig, here comes The Beekeeper's Question. Young lovers, old friends, a mountain valley and a North African battlefield: Two Montana families face loss, prejudice, violence and redemption in the uncertainty of 1940s America. This is a dramatic family saga of generations daring to ask the questions that shape their destinies, a story of enduring love in an era of American life that still echoes in society today. It's 1942 and War War II looms over the lives of the Cooper family-a son in the fight whose pregnant war bride arrives to their isolated Montana valley and a son married to a Blackfeet woman whose return tears open racial tension just when people must work together for the war effort. Leo Cooper, Franklin's and Jesse's father, is a philosophizing beekeeper and local preacher, modeling a vision for what the community might become. His colleague, Jereldene Doc Jesperson, holds the valley together curing bodies and tending souls. And Josie Shines the Light, a Blackfeet grandmother, must rely on Leo and his son to safeguard her granddaughter in this troubled settler valley, Pigeon River. Published by SeaScriptCompany.com
