Sue Monk Kidd
“I started to say, So then, what about the bracelet? but I could see he'd already given his answer, and it caused a kind of sorrow to rise in me that felt fresh and tender and had nothing, really, to do with the bracelet. I think now it was sorrow for the sound of his fork scraping the plate, the way it swelled in the distance between us, how I was not even in the room.”
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
