Coming of age in the late 1970s/early 1980s in Louisiana, Virginia Evans describes an idyllic childhood filled with summer camps, shopping trips, LSU football games, and her parents' annual elaborate Christmas parties. The youngest of six siblings, whose ages span over 22 years, Virginia had her parents to herself for most of her young life.
Virginia's world is shattered when her beloved father, Red, becomes seriously ill and passes away when she is just 24 years old. Reality sets in at his funeral as the "Youngest Bee" realizes that she is no longer the baby of the family. She takes on the responsibility of caring for her grieving, aging mother, Mildred.
The Youngest Bee is more than just a story of determination triumphing over tragedy. It is a love story. The bond Virginia shares with her sisters, "The Four Bees," and "finding laughter among the chaos" are what propelled them through their darkest days-from mental illness to cancer and dementia. The romance of Red and Mildred is woven throughout as the common thread that holds the family together.

She has spent most of her career helping clients with real estate, estate planning, and successions; however, she is currently enjoying her position with the Louisiana Department of Justice. She is also looking forward to writing a sequel to "The Youngest Bee" as well as a work of fiction.When not working, Virginia enjoys traveling to see her family, and attending musicals and plays with her teenage daughter. She loves sharing her valuable experience as a daughter and caregiver of an Alzheimer's patient and helping others cope with aging parents. She currently lives in Baton Rouge, and has two daughters, a dog, and a cat. She survives by always maintaining a sense of humor.
