I had some free time over vacation and was able to finally finish this book today. It is my first review of the new year and I'm hoping that I will be able to continue posting at a consistent rate all year long...we'll see how that goes. Anyway, The Secret Life of Bees was quite amazing. It was the story of Lily Owens who is haunted by the death of her mother and the abuse of her father. She and her African-American friend, Rosaleen, break out of jail and find the home of the Boatwright sisters by tracing their unique Black Madonna Honey. Lily and Rosaleen are introduced to the Daughters of Mary and learn a lot about life, love, happiness, regret, and forgiveness. The characters were so lovable, it had a perfect ending and it conveys the message that you really should live your life to the fullest. A great read that I recommend for anyone in search of a good book. Happy New Year :)
