Book Summary

- Set in South Carolina during the racially charged summer of 1964, the story follows Lily Owens, a fourteen-year-old white girl haunted by the hazy memory of her mother's tragic death. To escape her abusive father and protect her fierce Black caregiver, Rosaleen, Lily flees town. They find refuge in a vibrant, eccentric household of three independent Black sister-beekeepers who worship a Black Madonna. Immersed in the mesmerizing world of honey-making, Lily uncovers the truth about her mother and discovers the healing power of a female-led community.
