It Was The Afternoon Her Mother Was Killed, When Lily Was.

They Take Off In The Only Direction Lily Can Think Of Toward A Town Called Tiburon, South Carolina—A Name She Found On The Back Of A Picture Amid The Fee Possessions Left By Her Mother. There They Are Taken In By An Eccentric Trio Of Black Beekeeping Sisters Named May, June, And August.
