This month our Book to Movie Club is reading The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd. This is the story of Lily Owens, a girl whose life has been shaped by the faded memory of the day her mother was killed. When Rosaleen, Lily's stand-in mother, insults three vicious men in town, Lily decides they should both escape. Once they arrive in Tiburon, South Carolin, Lily and Rosaleen are taken in by an eccentric trio of sisters who introduce Lily to the world of beekeeping, love, and friendship.
