The Beekeeper of Bethany Ridge
Carrie Chance
Love takes patience. So does honey.
When Laurel Hayes inherits her grandfather's weathered farm and a handful of stubborn hives, she plans to settle the debts, sell the land, and outrun her grief. Then Jonah Walker—bivocational youth pastor, next-door neighbor, and quiet keeper of second chances—offers help that looks a lot like hope. What begins as a practical partnership to start a small honey co-op becomes something deeper as wildflowers return to the ridge, neighbors gather around supper tables, and whispered prayers steady unsteady hearts.
But saving the farm will take more than hard work. A lean harvest, a skeptical town board, and the tug of Laurel's old life test what they're building. Jonah carries losses he doesn't talk about; Laurel wrestles with a future she never planned. Together, they must learn the beekeeper's lesson: trust the process, tend what's entrusted, and wait for the sweet in God's good time.
The Beekeeper of Bethany Ridge is a clean, wholesome Christian romance about community, calling, and the gentle way grace mends what's broken. If you love small-town settings, slow-burn tenderness, and faith woven through everyday life, this heartwarming story will leave you smiling long after the last page.
