The Secret Life of Bees

Love can be found in the strangest places. Lily Owens in relation to our theme "Taking a Stand" took a stand against her father and the legal system in this heartwarming story. When Lily found the house of three beekeeping sisters, that took her in like family. What Lily did not know is that they held the key to her mothers past. Her mother was killed when she was little. I absolutely loved this story. This inspired me greatly. This story also taught me that every cloud has a silver lining. Lily went through very tough times but never gave up.
