FIC KIDD
The memory of the day Lily Owens, only four, accidentally shot her mother intrudes often into her mind. This, and the abuse she suffers for years at the hands of her father, trap Lily in pit of despair. She finally acts when her maid, the beloved Rosaleen on her way to register to vote under the new Civil Rights Acts, "assaults" three of the town's most vicious racists. Lily springs Rosaleen from the hospital and they set out for Tiburon, South Carolina, with only Lily's mother's picture of the Black Madonna to guide them.
Thus they come to the home of the three Boatwright sisters, the producers of Black Madonna honey. In their home Lily discovers both the past and her future, and there she learns to connect to the mother within herself.
