They escape to Tiburon, South Carolina -- a town that holds the secret to her mother's past. Taken in by an eccentric trio of black beekeeping sisters, Lily is introduced to their mesmerizing world of bees and honey, and the Black Madonna.
Before Lily ran away, she was taken care of by her abusive father neamed T. Ray. He told her that her mother ran away from her, so she ran away in astonishment and disbeleif.
