The Secret Life of Bees

secret life of bees

by Sue Monk Kidd. Loved it, loved it, loved it. Beautiful story written like a poem. Here's my favorite line from the book. "... How nobody is perfect. How you just have to close your eyes and breathe out and let the puzzle of the human heart be what it is."

Beautiful advice. Stop trying to solve all the riddles, crack the codes, break the safe. Just let some mysteries be what they are.
