Behind the charming small-town setting and sweet romance lies a deeply personal story—one inspired by Melody’s journey of caring for her husband through FTD dementia and eventually walking through the grief of his passing. With vulnerability and grace, Melody shares how her real-life sorrow poured into her fiction and how God’s presence carried her through. This conversation is a powerful reminder that even in our heaviest seasons, we can find rest in Him. Listen to the episode here.

She has decided to return to her small hometown in Oregon. Her plan is to help her mom, Honey, care for her dad, who has early onset dementia. But traveling this journey with her mom is easier said than done. Jewel’s beekeeping-obsessed father can be a humorous handful, and her own daughter is fighting the move. With household finances tight, Jewel proposes that they expand the family business beyond beekeeping and light farming and renovate the historic farmhouse to create a B&B. As the family bonds together in this shared venture, Jewel encounters new neighbors and a contractor, who used to be an old flame. Juggling home renovations, family dynamics, and potential romantic interests, Jewel soon learns that it takes a village to keep a man with dementia (and a goofy sense of humor) from unraveling everything. Can a handsome widower and his teenage daughter be the key to making all this work? Welcome to the Honey B&B is set to captivate readers with its blend of humor, romance, and poignant family moments, all while addressing the important topic of dementia care. Get your copy today!
