One of my favorite fiction books of all times. It is a magical story about a white girl in SC back in the early 60's who seeks refuge with a black family of three adult sisters who are bee keepers. She is looking for clues about her mother who died when she was young. The story is amazingly beautiful and full of redemption and love while also reflecting the tumultuous era of civil rights fights. A must read!
