Sue Monk Kidd's "The Secret Life of Bees" is a well-written account of a girl, Lily, coming to grips with her turbulent childhood set amidst the backdrop of the civil rights movement and featuring a very black-and-white storyline. I eagerly read each page of the book, trying to figure out how Lily was connected to the colored Boatright family.

I have to say that this book is not predictable. Not all endings or plot twists are happy, but this book is a compelling read. give it a try!
