Reviews
"A moving first novel...Lily is an authentic and winning character and her story is compellingly told. The bees presage her journey toward self-acceptance, faith and freedom that is at the heart of this novel." - USA Today "Inspiring. Sue Monk Kidd is a direct literary descendant of Carson McCullers." - The Baltimore Sun "Fully imagined...the core of this story is Lily''s search for a mother, and she finds one in a place she never expected." - The New York Times Book Review "This is the story of a young girl''s journey toward healing, and of the intrinsic sacredness of living in the world.
