Books, Manuscripts
Lily has grown up believing she accidentally killed her mother when she was just four years old. Now fourteen, she yearns for forgiveness and a mother's love. Living on a peach farm in South Caroline with her harsh and unyielding father, Lily has only one friend, Rosaleen, a black servant. When racial tension explodes one summer afternoon Rosaleen and Lily become fugitives from justice, the pair follow atrial left by a woman who died ten years before. Finding sanctuary in the home of three beekeeping sisters, Lily starts a journey as much about her understanding of the world, as about the mystery surrounding her mother.
