There are a few books that I can name that have had such an impact on me that I would remember the story so vividly long after the book was finished. "I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings" is one of them, and has long been a favorite, as well as the author, Maya Angelou.
The Secret Life of Bees has now been added to that short list.
This story about a young southern teenage girl, born of love, but raised in turmoil, and her coming of age during the civil unrest of 1964 when black Americans were finally given the right to vote. Finding herself a runaway with her black housekeeper/nanny in tow, she sets out on a journey to "find" the mother who died when she was four, and finds so much more.
This book will make you laugh, will make you angry, will make you hurt, and will definitely make you cry, but most of all it will make you wish it didn't end.
This will definitely become a favorite on my bookshelf.
