__The Secret Life of Bees__ - Sue Monk Kidd ** NEXT **

 * [[image:book_jacket1.aspx width="216" height="331" caption="Book jacket photo from "InfoCentre" enhanced content"]] || "Lily Melissa O wens has a special relationship with bees. At night, they squeeze through the cracks of her bedroom wall by the hundreds and fly circles around her room until the air itself is pulsating with the beat of their wings. Finally, when she can no longer stand being the only witness to this apiary wonder, she rushes to awaken the only person available - her father. But the bees don't stick around and T. Ray, who is not amused with this apparent prank, promises to get out the Martha Whites if Lily wakes him again.
