The Secret Life of Bees is a lovely and endearing story.
Set in 1964 South Carolina during the Civil Rights Act, we follow Lily Owens through her journey to find a mother figure, years after her own mother was killed. Lily runs away from home and her unloving father with her nanny Rosaleen whom she broke out of prison. Lily feels she must find out about her own mother, but instead finds the maternal love she craves from an unlikely source; three black beekeeping sisters.
Lily learns about love, spirituality and what a family really is. This novel is enhanced by its attention to the divine female power found within ourselves.
