The lost community of Apistown trades honey with the outside world to survive. But its children do not know where the honored honey comes from-nor about the guilt the town must bear. One night, Amelia, Isaac, and Cassie dream of a great tree. Honey seeps through the tree's fruit and falls to waiting vessels below. Could this be Apistown's lifeblood? Is such a tree possible? The three friends set out to learn the truth. And their parents, guided by three mysterious matrons, must choose: protect their children or keep faith with the community. The truth will transform them all.
