About the Books The Secret Life of Bees follows fourteen-year-old Lily Owens, who flees her troubled home in South Carolina with her caregiver Rosaleen after a violent incident, finding refuge and unexpected family on a peach farm run by three beekeeping sisters. Kidd's debut spent over a hundred weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and has since been adapted into a film and stage musical. The Invention of Wings is set in early nineteenth-century Charleston and follows Sarah Grimké, gifted a young enslaved girl named Hetty "Handful" as a birthday present. Their intertwined lives unfold over decades against the real historical backdrop of the abolitionist movement, exploring bondage, sisterhood, and the fight for justice. The Mermaid Chair turns to a quieter, more introspective story: Jessie Sullivan returns to the island of her childhood and becomes drawn into an unexpected relationship with a Benedictine monk, prompting a reckoning with marriage, faith, and self.
