- In the book, Lily runs away from her father and stops at the place her mother had stayed when she herself had run away from T-Ray. Lily ended up staying with August Boatwright, an African-American beekeeper. The ironic part I find about that situation is that they both ended up at the same place. Lily didnt even know her mom stayed there until she saw June using a special method for eliminating roaches that her mother had also used. The Secret Life of Bees uses irony something happens that wasn't expected to the reader.
- Lily blames herself for her mom's death, even though she had no intention of doing what she did. After losing her mom, she creates a strong bond with Rosaleen, and considers her a mom figure. Lily never knew that she can have another mother figure in her life, but after meeting August she also meets 2 other women who are also like mother figures to her. So, she lost a mother and gained 4 surrogate mothers.
