Book Review By Laurel West
Bee Balms and Burgundy by Nelson Pahl

Bee Balms & Burgundy is a charming story of latent lifelong love and the quest to conquer all that stands in its way. Nick May is a successful thirty-two-year-old entrepreneur living in Vancouver. He breaks off an explosive, untrusting eleven-month live-in relationship just before he travels home to St. Paul to see his widowed mother. The relationship leaves him cynical about love, to say the least. Once in St. Paul, he discovers next-door neighbor and lifelong pal Mia Lawson, 30, has a couple secrets she's been dying to share with him. One, unbeknownst to Nick, is that she's now a post-mastectomy breast cancer survivor, still hoping to conquer her disease.
