Cruising the book shelf in my English teachers classroom I saw a book that looked oh so familiar. It was called The Secret Life of Bees. Its about this young girl who's mother sadly dies when she is 4 years. her death is vague to her but her father or T ray as she calls him for some strange reason. This books setting is dated back to 1964 back when black and whites didn't have the same Rights so it has some historical factors to it. Lily (the main character) then leaves with these African American girls who teach her the property of life and to be a strong independent woman.
So far what I have gotten out the book has been amazing its not what you expect from it. I truly feel sad for the girl as if shes really real and if a book can make you feel that emotion its worth reading. As i read further into the book I've grown to love and learn the characters (Even T ray even though he's quite difficult and simpleminded) I cant wait to read more of this amazing book.
