Of Bees and Mist A Novel

This richly atmospheric debut is an engrossing fable that chronicles three generations of women and two families, their destructive jealousies, loves, and deeply rooted deceptions, set in a mythical town where spirits, spells, and witchcraft are an everyday reality. Meridia, raised in a sepulchral house where ghosts dwell in mirrors and her father vanishes nightly into a blue mist, escapes her lonely childhood by marrying Daniel at age sixteen. Soon, she discovers her new family harbors dark mysteries and secrets of their own, including a grave hidden in the garden and two sisters groomed from birth to despise each other. The formidable matriarch and wicked mother-in-law, Eva, has grievances that swarm the air in an army of bees. As Meridia struggles to keep her marriage together, she discovers shocking truths about her new family and long-kept secrets about her own past that push her to the brink, testing her love, courage, and sanity.
