Queen bee
Frank, Dorothea Benton
Beekeeper Holly McNee Kensen quietly lives in a world of her own on Sullivan's Island
tending her hives and working at the local island library. Holly calls her mother The Queen Bee because she's a demanding hulk of a woman. Her mother
a devoted hypochondriac
might be unaware that she's quite ill
but that doesn't stop her from tormenting Holly. To escape the drama
Holly's sister Leslie married and moved away
wanting little to do with island life. Holly's escape is to submerge herself in the lives of the two young boys next door and their widowed father
Archie. Her world is upended when the more flamboyant Leslie returns and both sisters
opposites
fixate on what's happening in their neighbor's home. Is Archie really in love with that awful ice queen of a woman? If Archie marries her
what will become of his little boys?
