Author's Note: Lilly has been beaten and laughed at by her dad, but when she leaved her home and sets out to find more about her mom, there's no clue what's going to happen.
In Secret Life of Bees there are many conflicts like Lilly and Rosaleen having to break out of jail but the main conflict that they have to face is Lilly trying to find clues that will help her find out more about her mom. Lilly's mom died when she was just a little girl, she had no clue what her mom was like. The main conflict in the story is person vs. self, Lilly has been through a lot. When her mom died her dad started beating her and made her feel insecure about herself, Lilly wants to find out things about her mom so she can feel like herself again.
In the book it is easy to tell that Lilly really wants to know more about her mom. She went through a lot of trouble just to get to the city that her mom might have been in, people made fun of her along the way for running away with her maid. When she gets to the house she is welcomed in but she soon finds out that May a girl that lives at the house is really depressed since her twin sister died. May used to be a really happy girl until her sister died she now crys at every sad thing she hears, it's like a part of her was lost when she died. Lilly finds out about May's story and they find out that the same thing happened to each other, May lost her twins sister when she was young and Lilly lost her mom when there family member died part of the also died.
The main conflict is a lot like Cole in Touching Spirit Bear. Cole was just a boy that had no parents that really cared for him. His mom was never home and when she was she was busy beating him and his dad was always home but he was always drunk. Just like Lilly some of the actions that he did weren't his fault. He was mad at his parents. Lilly was never really mad though she just never really knew what they were like.
