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 sisters, 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.
"Fully imagined...the core of this story is Lily's search for a mother, and she finds one in a place she never expected." ~ The New York Times Book Review
"The stunning metaphors and realistic characters are so poignant they will bring tears to your eyes." ~ Library Journal
"I am amazed that this moving, original, and accomplished book is a first novel. It is wonderfully written, powerful, poignant, and humorous, and deliciously eccentric. Do read it." ~ Joanna Trollope is the Number 1 Bestselling Author of 18 highly Acclaimed Contemporary Novels, including The Other Family, Daughters-in-Law, and The Soldier's Wife
"A truly original Southern voice." ~ Anita Shreve is The New York Times Bestselling Author of 17 Novels, including The Weight of Water and The Pilot's Wife
"It's as if Kidd loaded up a take-home plate with treats, and you said 'Oh, I couldn't,' and then scarfed it down in the car on the way home." ~ Entertainment Weekly
"The tale of one motherless daughter's discovery of what family really means—and of the strange and wondrous places we love." ~ The Washington Post
