The Secret Life of Bees

by Sue Monk Kidd
First of all, being a child of the sixties, I loved reading about all the things from then that took me back---things I'd long ago forgotten about...from dyed chicks at Easter to bomb drills at school to products like Spic'N'Span... so nostalgic!
Second, I loved her writing style- I was right there with her as she put great pictures in my head-- I couldn't put it down!

Quotes Sandy Liked
“Every human being on the face of the earth has a steel plate in his head, but if you lie down now and then and get still as you can, it will slide open like elevator doors, letting in all the secret thoughts that have been standing around so patiently, pushing the button for a ride to the top. The real troubles in life happen when those hidden doors stay closed for too long.”

“Nobody around here had ever seen a lady beekeeper till her. She liked to tell everybody that women made the best beekeepers, 'cause they have a special ability built into them to love creatures that sting. It comes from years of loving children and husbands.”
