AUTHOR: Gene-Stratton-Porter (1863-1924). Broken in spirit and body, James Lewis MacFarlane, a wounded veteran of World War I, decides to escape from the military hospital before he is sent to a hospital for tubercular patients. He sets out on a great adventure which takes him to the healing sun and ocean of California. After aiding the stricken Master Bee Keeper, Jamie is entrusted with the care of the apiary. There he meets Little Scout, who acts as his guide into the mysteries of bee keeping, and the Storm Woman, who is his spiritual salvation as he is her champion. This last Stratton-Porter novel is filled with her homely wisdom, her love of fields and flowers, and her own abiding optimism. Stratton-Porter was injured in an automobile accident and died before the book was published, but it was a success and is a perennial favorite of readers who share her faith in and love of nature.
