Gina Prince-Bythewood's adaptation of Sue Monk Kidd's novel The Secret Life of Bees stars Dakota Fanning as Lily, a 14-year-old growing up in a small Southern town in 1964. She is haunted by memories of shooting her mother when she was a young girl. Lily lives with her emotionally distant father, and her best friend is their African-American housekeeper Rosaleen (Jennifer Hudson).

Lily and her friend move in with them, and soon the girl learns about both beekeeping and life. Perry Seibert, Rovi

This, like The Color Purple and Water for Elephants now is part of my "permanent collection" of wonderful books (and movies) that everyone should own. What a great way to teach young women about strong and successful women. My sons loved it too.
