Review from amazon:

Set in South Carolina in 1964, The Secret Life of Bees tells the story of Lily Owens, whose life has been shaped around the blurred memory of the afternoon her mother was killed. When Lily's fierce-hearted black "stand-in mother," Rosaleen, insults three of the deepest racists in town, Lily decides to spring them both free. They escape to Tiburon, South Carolina--a town that holds the secret to her mother's past. Taken in by an eccentric trio of black beekeeping sister, Lily is introduced to their mesmerizing world of bees and honey, and the Black Madonna. This is a remarkable novel about divine female power, a story that women will share and pass on to their daughters for years to come.

I found this book at another LFL where I left several books. It's a good story!

Released for the 2020 You're Such an Animal Release Challenge. Enjoy!

Placed in the jam packed Mt. Greenwood Little Library in the front so that is all you see through the window. Excellent book! I strongly recommend reading it. (They also turned it into a movie but you know what you hear about book to movie translations....)
