In Spite of Killer Bees is a novel about not giving in and not giving up. Aggie and her two sisters have had to move to the small village that had been their father's childhood home. Their mother is long gone, and their father - who'd been in and out of prison - has died. Although the village holds little charm for the girls, they have hopes. It seems that their late grandfather has made them heiresses.
In the small, judgmental village, Aggie must fight to keep her diminishing family together. By refusing to abandon those she loves and comes to love, she risks more than her happiness.
