Surprising book for me to recommend. Yet this book is a charmer, about the awakening of a neglected 14 year old, Lily, to the truth of her mother's death and a revelation about her own value. Fleeing with her African-American nanny to an eccentric home inhabited by three wise sisters, Lily, while working in an apiary (bee house), learns to find the "mother in herself" and ultimately an elusive self acceptance. A "honey" of a literary treasure.
