From the back:

Augusta has attitude, a wicked funny bone and the dubious gift of second sight. As she anxiously awaits news of her beloved son-in-law Gabe, who is undergoing brain surgery, she worries and reminisces, reliving her sometimes harsh, sometimes magical, life. Canadian author Gail Anderson-Dargatz creates a remarkable character in Augusta in A Recipe for Bees.
