I loved this book. There were so many different themes in this book. To name a few, love, mother daughter relationships, motherless daughters, race, human rights, family, and of course… bees. This novel was amazing to read. I took my own truckload of emotions into this book so that probably changed the way that I read it. Lily is our heroine and main character and she has had so much to bear it would be hard to live just one day in her shoes. She remains strong and smart through all that she has to endure. I only want to say enough about this book to get you to read it so I won’t go into too much detail. I will say, Suzi, thanks for telling me to read it and you were right I loved it.
