The Secret Life of Bees

The Secret Life of Bees

I read this book in the summer; while my memories on the book is still clearly displayed in my mind, I decided to write a book review. The story focused on
a girl called Lily Owen who not only tried hard to bring the memories of her dead mother back but also tried to search for her past. She lived with her uncaring father and Rosaleen, a black housekeeper. As the story progresses, she will meet a group of black women (with the help of some stuff belongs to her mother) and realized the power of the female community. The story also shows the unsightly sight of racism and how Lily overcomes it.
