Sue Monk Kidd
“The month of August had turned into a griddle where the days just lay there and sizzled. I plucked leaves off the elephant ear plants and fanned my face, sat with my bare feet submerged in the trickling water, felt breezes lift off the river and sweep over me, and still everything about me was stunned and stupefied by the heat, everything except my heart. It sat like an ice sculpture in the center of my chest. Nothing could touch it.”
Sue Monk Kidd, The Secret Life of Bees

Sue Monk Kidd
“I wish you'd told me what you knew about my mother,' I said. 'How come you didn't?' 'Oh Lily,' she said, and there was a gentleness in her words, like they'd been rocked in a little hammock of tenderness down her throat. 'Why would I go and hurt you with something like that?”
Sue Monk Kidd, The Secret Life of Bees
