The big-screen adaptation of Sue Monk Kidd's bestselling The Secret Life of Bees opens nationwide in October of this year and you can watch an exclusive trailer for the film on the Borders site now. The movie stars Jennifer Hudson, Dakota Fanning, Alicia Keys, and Queen Latifah. You can also watch Sue Monk Kidd talking about the book and movie, also on Border's site, here!
















































































































This looks pretty good. I have yet to read the book but heard it was better than The Mermaid Chair which I believe is by the same author. I will check it out.

Hey Ti--I agree with that assesment also; Bees was far superior to The Mermaid Chair. One of my groups just read The Dance of the Dissident Daughter by Kidd and it was great--an autobiography of her growth from conservative Christian writer to the writer--and woman--she has become today. Very good for discussion as well.
