The Secret Life of Bees

       This book is about a girl named Lily. It is set in 1864 in South Carolina. Lily runs away because her father, T. Ray is abusive and very mean. She runs away with Rosaleen who was her stand in mother and was one of T. Ray's slaves. The two of them are taken in by three black bee keeping sisters who take care of them. It is very interesting to look at how people treated each other, especially depending on the race of the person. I would recommend this book to anybody even though it is mostly about girls(I still really like it)
