"I loved this book. Cassie Linden is an everywoman, facing the challenges of caring for her aging dad, helping her son figure out college and worrying about her own future... and present. A gorgeous debut." -Kristan Higgins, New York Times bestselling author

Cassie Linden worries about every word she can't remember, terrified of the early-onset Alzheimer's that stole her mother. Now, recently divorced, she's back home to care for her aging father, who can no longer manage his beloved bees.

To pay for her dad's care, she puts her misgivings aside and convinces him to sell to a developer who's putting up a luxury project next door. She also enlists the help of beekeeper Glenn Marsden, who fiercely opposes development of this last open space in town. Glenn hasn't had much to say to women ever since his wife left him and their young daughter eight years ago, but something unexpected has sparked with Cassie.

Cassie knows she needs to come clean with Glenn about her plan to sell but fears it will ruin their blossoming relationship. Then there's the appointment she forgot and those pesky words she can't recall. Her sister is after her to get tested for the genetic mutation that guarantees early-onset. But does Cassie really want to know? And will the answer sink her newfound chance at happiness?
