Uncovering long-held family secrets may sting at first--but the
result can be sweeter than honey Beekeeper Beckett Walsh is living
her dream, working alongside her father in their apiary, until his
untimely death sends her world into a tailspin. She suddenly finds
she must deal with a new part owner of the family business--one who
is looking to sell the property. Beck cannot fathom why her father
would put her into the position to lose everything they built
together. When Callie Peterson is named in the trust of a man she's
never heard of, she's not sure what to do. Her fledgling business
has just taken wing and her mother has reentered her life asking
for help getting into rehab for her lifelong substance abuse
issues, making Callie's financial situation rather . . .
precarious. She's sure she has no right to someone else's farm, but
the money from the sale could solve her problems and give her the
stability she's always craved. As these two women navigate their
present conundrum, they will discover a complex and entangled past
full of secrets--and the potential for a brighter future for both
of them.

her hometown to oversee an estate sale, she soon discovers that her
grandmother left behind more than trinkets and photo frames--she

seeks clues to her past, but a key piece to the mystery is missing.
Twenty-four years earlier, Harvey James finds an abandoned newborn
who gives him a sense of human connection for the first time in his
life. His desire to care for the baby runs up against the stark
fact that he is homeless. When he becomes entwined with two people
seeking to help him find his way, Harvey knows he must keep the
baby a secret or risk losing the only person he's ever loved. In
this dual-time story from debut novelist Amanda Cox, the
truth--both the search for it and the desire to keep it from
others--takes center stage as Ivy and Harvey grapple with love,
loss, and letting go.
Book of the Year, 2022 Christy Awards "Readers will fall in love
with Old Depot Grocery and its women as Cox explores themes of
loneliness and isolation and highlights mother daughter
relationships and the strength of the female spirit. Cox is a
writer to turn to for emotionally rich and redemptive
fiction."--Booklist starred review *** Present Day. After tragedy
plunges her into grief and unresolved anger, Sarah Ashby returns to
her childhood home determined to finally follow her long-denied
dream of running Old Depot Grocery alongside her mother and
grandmother. But when she arrives, her mother, Rosemary, announces
to her that the store is closing. Sarah and her grandmother, Glory
Ann, make a pact to save the store, but Rosemary has worked her
entire life to make sure her daughter never follows in her
footsteps. She has her reasons--but she'll certainly never reveal
the real one. 1965. Glory Ann confesses to her family that she's
pregnant with her deceased fiance's baby. Pressured into a marriage
of convenience with a shopkeeper to preserve the family reputation,
Glory Ann vows never to love again. But some promises are not as
easily kept as she imagined. This dual-timeline story from Amanda
Cox deftly explores the complexity of a mother-daughter dynamic,
the way the secrets we keep shape our lives and the lives of
others, and the healing power of telling the truth. "Amanda Cox's
poignant novel waltzes 'between grief and joy' as its mothers and
daughters grow to appreciate each other's strengths."--Foreword
