Fourteen-year-old Lily Owens lost her beloved mother when she was only four—under tragic circumstances clouded by time and secrecy. She later found a fiercely protective "stand-in," her abusive father's outspoken housekeeper, Rosaleen. Ignoring differences in age and color—and the fact that racial hatred seethed during the summer of 1964 in rural South Carolina—these two unlikely companions set off on a seemingly aimless pilgrimage that ends at the home of a trio of eccentric bee-keeping black sisters. Lily tells her remarkable tale of longing and love in an idiom and accent heard far south of the Mason-Dixon Line, but the lessons learned during her odyssey into the world of bees and their "secret life" are universal and everlasting. In her debut novel, Sue Monk Kidd proves herself adept both at storytelling and at creating characters who are simultaneously outlandish and credible—in other words, worthy to join the ranks of such first-rate Southern stylists as Kaye Gibbons, Anne Rivers Siddons, and Ellen Gilchrist.

Find I keep writing the next book in the series in my mind. Has some tension that ends satisfactorily. Interesting tid-bits about bees also. I was raised in the South - white - and find this a fascinating concept. Guess I don't want it to end. Warm but not syrupy. Enjoyed the book - our book club read it. Uplifting.
Would not advise anyone to waste their time on this book. This book had a very bad ending to it. The author should have had a different outcome.
Great JOB I cant wait for a sequel. It is a book that warms the heart. I couldnt put this book down. I wanted to see the movie but I wanted to read the book first now I cant wait to see the movie.
It will make you laugh, cry and think about what you have gone through and what it was like in the 60's. I enjoyed this book very much and in many situations it hit home with me. It was funny, sad and a learning experience.
i adored the stories of black mary and all the love@the boatwrights give to lily and rosalene. sue monk kidd did a fabulous piece of work. great@ for women or girls preteen and up. she tells the story with such couragesnous it is a must read. i instantly became connected with all the characters the pain and hope lily has is so mature for her age. even though i really wanted her to tell the truth earlier and this could not really happen the plot is perfect.
