She was writing to preserve their past, protect their present, and fight for their future. Those letters became the foundation for this beautiful, intimate memoir. And in the process, she fell in love with her husband all over again. This is a manifesto for living, an ultimately uplifting story about the transformative power of faith and resilience. It's a tale of a husband's turbulent road to recovery, the shifting nature of marriage, and the struggle of loving through pain and finding joy in the broken places." -- Provided by publisher.

Her picture-perfect life—living in Boston, married to a brilliant cardiothoracic surgeon, raising their beautiful son, Asher—was upended when her husband revealed a darker side. She never imagined that she would end up back in her sleepy New Hampshire hometown, living in the house she grew up in and taking over her father’s beekeeping business. Lily Campanello is familiar with do-overs, too. When she and her mom relocate to Adams, New Hampshire, for her final year of high school, they both hope it will be a fresh start. And for just a short while, these new beginnings are exactly what Olivia and Lily need. Their paths cross when Asher falls for the new girl in school, and Lily can’t help but fall for him, too. With Ash, she feels happy for the first time. Yet at times, she wonders if she can trust him completely... Then one day, Olivia receives a phone call: Lily is dead, and Asher is being questioned by the police. Olivia is adamant that her son is innocent. But she would be lying if she didn’t acknowledge the flashes of his father’s temper in Ash, and as the case against him unfolds, she realizes he’s hidden more than he’s shared with her. </span></span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;line-height:105%;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:red;background:white;mso-ligatures:none'>Mad</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;line-height:105%;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black;background:white;mso-ligatures:none'> </span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;line-height:105%;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:red;background:white;mso-ligatures:none'>Honey</span><span style='font-size:12.0pt;line-height:105%;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black;background:white;mso-ligatures:none'> is a riveting novel of suspense, an unforgettable love story, and a moving and powerful exploration of the secrets we keep and the risks we take in order to become ourselves." -- Provided by publisher.
