July 2, 1964. The Civil Rights Act is passed in the United States, outlawing racial discrimination. Lily Owens, from South Carolina, is 14 years old and her whole life has been shaped around vague memories of the day her mother was murdered. She lives with a dark-skinned nanny, Rosalyn, and an abusive father who makes her stand on the corn for hours for every misbehavior.
When Rosalyn, offends three of the most hardened racists in town, Lily decides to set them both free: she flees her oppressive father, Rosalyn from injustice. They head for Tyburon, a town that holds the secret of her mother's past. Captured by an eccentric trio of beekeeping sisters, Lily is introduced to the mesmerizing world of bees and honey, as well as the divine Madonna. A multi-million dollar bestseller about a young girl's journey to healing and the transformative power of love.
