The Secret Life of Bees
reviewed on + 8 more book reviews


This book tells the story of an orphan girl and her black "stand-in" mother. Living in a racist town, there is an incident that drives Lily and Rosaleen from their home. Taken in by three black bee-keeping sisters, Lily learns the business from them. It is a good story and educational about the bees.
