When looking through book titles, somehow people’s eyes just jump to a specific title without any rhyme or reason. The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd was the title that jumped out at me. I knew that there is no way that the book is actually about the lives of bees. I wanted to find out what it really meant. I read that it was set in South Carolina and was about a 14 year-old girl named Lily. So I thought that I could comprehend it easily from a voice of a girl around my age. I could relate to a lot of what was said about it; so I read the novel.
Lily is the main character of this book and the narrator through its entirety. She is 14 years old and white. Her dad is referred to as T. Ray in the novel, which pretty much tells people all
