By Ane Means Necessary

On the very same day Torrey officially becomes a college freshman, he gets a call that might force him to drop out before he’s even made it through Freshmen Mixer: the apiary, the bee farm, his beloved uncle Miles left him after his tragic death is being foreclosed on.

Torrey would love nothing more than to leave behind the family, neighborhood, and obligation that’s bleeding him dry emotionally, mentally, and financially. Still, despite it all, Torrey feels compelled to continue to care for the project of his uncle’s heart, even if that means being shackled to the people that are tearing him down.

With the apiary’s land heading for auction, Torrey attempts to split his time between figuring out a college major and fighting to stop his uncle’s legacy from being demolished. But as notice letters and collection agencies keep calling him non-stop, the choice between taking the easy route and selling or once again dividing himself between his family and his future, becomes impossible to navigate.
