The Beekeeper's Secret

When Tansy Butterfield decides to make contact with an aunt who is estranged from the family she is unaware of the minefield of family secrets that will be unleashed. 

Tansy's aunt, Maria Lindsey, is a former nun now working at Honeybee Haven on the Sunshine Coast where she cares for her bees as well as running a number of projects to raise money to send to an orphanage in Cambodia. She has remained hidden from her family since leaving the nunnery but is aware that all is about to change, especially when she recives a letter concerning an enquiry into the activities of some members of the Catholic Church with whom she once worked.

Since leaving the church Maria has found peace with her hives of bees. Throughout The Beekeeper's Secret by Josephine Moon, the reader learns much about beekeeping and the importance of bees to the environment as Maria learns to trust people again and to enjoy life. meanwhile other members of her family also begin to realise that they must face life's challenges and adapt to change.
