This year’s book selection is the debut novel of Eileen Garvin, a writer and beekeeper living in Hood River. “’The Music of Bees’ is about the power of friendship, compassion in the face of loss and finding the courage to start over and stand up (at any age) when things don’t turn out the way you expect,” said a press release.
