Surprise! Another young adult book on romantic relationships and singleness! Weren't expecting that, now were you? (That was sarcasm.) Ok, so you can find plenty of books about this stuff, which really isn't surprising since the average age of Christian newlyweds is like, what, 22? (Or so it seems to us single 23-year-olds.) Dating/courting/whatever-your-church-calls-it and not, are two big stages of life for those of us in our 20s. So why did I write another book about it? Well, I was raised in church. I did what I was taught, and I waited until college to date. After a year-and-a-half relationship that ended terribly, promptly followed by my Christian parents' divorce, I realized that there's more to relationships than the purity books and youth group lessons said. I learned a lot from my experiences, but I had more questions. I began researching and writing. This book is the result. I tackle topics like long-distance dating, the "gift" of singleness, emotional purity, sexual addiction, how to get into a relationship, how to get out of one, etc. Books are better in community, so pull together a group of friends, and possibly a Jesus-loving older person, and discuss all the fascinating stuff within these pages! Whether you're single or practically engaged, 20 or 27, join the conversation. Let me know what you think at facebook.com/katiewelchwriter. Read. Think. Talk about it. Be surprised.

Melissa Makepeace poured herself into running the family farm when her boyfriend, and head beekeeper, vanished on an early spring day, silently absorbing yet another man disappearing from her life. But three months later Beck Wise reappears - thin, pale, with no idea what day it is and filled with strange memories of bees - and Melissa finds herself unravelling multiple mysteries. What had happened to Beck? Where did her father go? How can she keep the farm together? With gorgeous descriptions, deft characterizations and a page-turning plot, Mad Honey immerses the reader in a search for truth bounded by the everyday magic of beekeeping, of family and of finding peace, all while asking how much we really understand the natural world.
