The Secret Life of Bees

The time was taken in 1964, when the racial tension was the highest. 
Lily, the 8-yrs-old girl, one day, fled with her caretaker, Rosaleen, African American woman, from her abusive father, T-Ray, who used to make her kneel on grits. Lily's braveness came through the action, where she was determined to save Rosaleen from three white racist men, who attacked her whilst undertaking her first voting registration.

Deborah, Lily's mom was dead when she was four. Lily witnessed T-Ray threatening her mom with the gun, and to help her out, Lily tried to pass out that gun to her mom, but to worsen the case, she accidentally shot her to death.

Lily has always missed her mom and that's why she pick the Tiburon, South Carolina, as the place to escape, because the Tiburon was written on the back of the picture of black virgin Mary, which was Deborah's. Lily noticed exactly the same picture on the honey jar at the food store she happened to stop by. Asking the store clerk where the owner of that honey jar suppose to live, Lily's uncovered the truth about her mom and her new life as a bee keeper in the Boatwright Sisters' house. 

This novel made me feel good with the tranquil Southern lifestyle and the homey food.
The little girl Lily always deserves to be loved, the life part, where I realized it's nothing really different from mine or anyone else's.
And it was unusual that bees and honey were being considered this much uniquely.
To create the honey, there were so many procedures to undertake, and the most important part is, sending bees some love.
Learning to be a bee keeper. Learning to live life.
The intersection is, love.
