Description

The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd is a moving coming-of-age novel about grief, race, family, and the healing power of love.

Set in South Carolina in 1964, the story follows Lily Owens, a young girl haunted by the blurred memory of her mother’s death. When racial tensions place Rosaleen, the Black woman who has helped raise her, in danger, Lily decides they must escape. Their journey takes them to Tiburon, South Carolina, where Lily hopes to uncover the truth about her mother’s past.

There they are welcomed by three Black beekeeping sisters who introduce Lily to a world of bees, honey, faith, community, and the Black Madonna. As Lily learns more about her history, she begins to understand family, forgiveness, and belonging in a new way.
