    Written very well. Excellent content about a young Southern girl striking out in the world, trying to resolve her feelings of the loss of her Mother at age 4 and living with an extremely abusive Father. She ends up with 3 black sisters and learns about bee-keeping and love.

  • Good for the sub-book

    My daughter takes care of book very much. In school, she had to draw a line under the word in the book. That's why she wanted to buy the used book for the sub-material. She was very satisfied with it.
