When We Found Home / The Honey Bus: 2-in-1 Gift Pack
Two great books in one great collection! From #1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery and award-winning journalist Meredith May, two stories of family and the unexpected places we come to call home.
When We Found Home by Susan Mallery
“Heartwarming…this book will appeal to readers who enjoy the intricacies of family drama.”—Publishers Weekly
Callie Smith doesn’t love being alone in this world, but at least it’s safe. So it’s hard to know how to feel when she discovers she has a brother and a sister. Despite her trepidation, Callie moves into the grand family home with her new siblings and grandfather on the shores of Lake Washington, hoping just maybe this will be the start of a whole new life. But starting over can be messy. Becoming a family will take patience, humor, a little bit of wine and a whole lot of love.
A masterful exploration of a modern family—blended by surprise, not by choice—and how those complicated relationships can add surprising richness to life.
The Honey Bus by Meredith May
An extraordinary story of a girl, her grandfather and one of nature’s most mysterious and beguiling creatures: the honeybee.
Meredith May was five years old when her parents split and she suddenly found herself in the care of her grandfather. An eccentric beekeeper who made honey in a rusty old military bus, Grandpa showed her that everything she needed to know about life and family was right before her eyes, in the secret world of bees.
May forged an unbreakable bond with her grandfather and the bees became a guiding force in her life, teaching her about family, love, and survival. Part memoir, part beekeeping odyssey, The Honey Bus is an unforgettable story about finding home in the most unusual of places, and how a tiny, little-understood insect could save a life.

About the author
Susan Mallery
862 books15.4k followers#1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery writes heartwarming and humorous novels about the relationships that define women's lives—family, friendship, romance. She's best known for putting nuanced characters into emotionally complex, real-life situations with twists that surprise readers to laughter. Because Susan is passionate about animal welfare, pets play a big role in her books. Beloved by millions of readers worldwide, her books have been translated into 28 languages.
Critics have dubbed Mallery "the new queen of romantic fiction." (Walmart) Booklist says, "Romance novels don't get much better than Mallery's expert blend of emotional nuance, humor, and superb storytelling," and RT Book Reviews puts her "in a class by herself!" It's no wonder that her books have spent more than 200 weeks on the USA Today bestsellers list.
Although Susan majored in Accounting, she never worked as an accountant because she was published straight out of college with two books the same month. Sixteen prolific years and seventy-four books later, she hit the New York Times bestsellers list for the first time with Accidentally Yours in 2008. She made many appearances in the Top 10 before (finally) hitting #1 in 2015 with Thrill Me, the twentieth book in her most popular series, the Fool's Gold romances, and the fourth of five books released that year.
Susan lives in Washington state with her husband, two ragdoll cats, and a small poodle with delusions of grandeur. Her heart for animals has led Susan to become an active supporter of the Seattle Humane Society. Visit Susan online at www.SusanMallery.com.

I did enjoy this book about siblings brought together, as they did not know that they had a sister or brother. Lots of trials and a good ending.
