The Secret Life Of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd

Miko’s Pick – Lifestyle Editor Contributor

The Secret Life of Bees is a multi-million-copy bestselling novel about a young girl’s journey towards healing and the transforming power of love. Lily has grown up believing she accidentally killed her mother when she was four years old. Now, at fourteen, she yearns for forgiveness and a mother’s love. 

When racial tensions rise, she finds sanctuary in the home of three beekeeping sisters and starts a journey as much about her understanding of the world as about the mystery surrounding her mother.
