Another Thumbs Up!

We watched "The Secret Life of Bees" on Saturday night. Tina had rented it and brought it by to share. We really liked it! Lily is played by Dakota Fanning; she and the rest of the cast (Queen Latifah, Jennifer Hudson, Sophie Okonedo and Alicia Keys) all do a wonderful job! I had read the book a few years ago and liked it very much and the movie was awesome too! Here is the synopsis:


Set in South Carolina in 1964, the tale of Lily Owens, a 14-year-old girl who is haunted by the memory of her late mother. To escape her lonely life and troubled relationship with her father, Lily flees with Rosaleen, her caregiver and only friend, to a South Carolina town that holds the secret to her mother's past. Taken in by the intelligent and independent Boatwright sisters, Lily finds solace in their mesmerizing world of beekeeping, honey and the Black Madonna.

Watch and Enjoy!
