How will Lily's life change since she is living with August?

# data[].attributes.body
The end of the book was not bad it was really interesting. I thought Lily and Rosaleen would end up going with T.Ray but they stayed with August instead.

# data[].attributes.body
I was realy surprised when T Ray walked there the door

# data[].attributes.body
Why did Lily feel the need to scream "Daddy!" to T.Ray when he was getting upset with her? What was the significance?

# data[].attributes.body
Was Deborah wearing the whale pin when she entered august's house beacause even though her and T.Ray fought she still loved him?

Did Rosaleen buy the fancy dress on purpose so when she was voting, people would accept her more/ be more impressed with her because of her appearance? Or did she buy the dress because it was a big moment for her?

Did the sisters feel relief after May died? I don't think they were happy but kind of like they didn't have to watch over her all the time.

# data[].attributes.body
Are Lily and Rosaleen going to leave anytime soon? or are they just going to stay there forever?

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like June is a dynamic character because she has changed from the first time we met. In the beginning June was really mean to Lily and she didn't want to marry Neil. Now she is nice to Lily and has finally said yes to Neil's proposal.

# data[].attributes.body
With June and Neil getting married how would that affect there future.?

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think May feels like she was holding the sisters back from living/being free, based of the note she left them?

How come Zach got out of jail while Rosaleen wasn't able to?

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder why Rosaleen doesn't adopt Lily knowing about all the stuff that happens at home with T.Ray? Was it illegal for a colored women to adopt? Would Lily want to be adopted by T.Ray?

# data[].attributes.body
Are their other statues of Mary?

# data[].attributes.body

What is T.Ray doing back home? Is he searching for Lily or does he not care anymore.

# data[].attributes.body
Do you think that we will ever hear from T-Ray? Is his character over in the book?

# data[].attributes.body
If Lily tells the truth of why she is there what would June do? Will she call the cops or will she not do anything?

# data[].attributes.body
If June dosent want to marry Neil why are they always hanging out together?

# data[].attributes.body
Is Rosaleen married because on page 103 it brings it up?

# data[].attributes.body
When will the truth of why Rosaleen and Lily are at the Boatwright's home come out? During this chapter, June and August are starting to get curious about why Lily and August are really there.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 71 Lily had a flashback of a feeling she had and she has the same feeling now. Are these feelings from her mom trying to reach out to her or are they just her own thoughts?

# data[].attributes.body
Does anyone think that Lily should tell August the real story or keep the lie going?

# data[].attributes.body
Does Rosaleen feel like she is going to be replaced by August because of how close her and August has become?

# data[].attributes.body
I think nature is a big symbol because just represents her mother like "Mother Nature" and Lily feels very connected to the nature almost like its her mother.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Lily is really starting to consider August, May and even June as family. I don't think she will want to leave them. Will she want to stay with them forever?

# data[].attributes.body
We are deep in the book and Lily hasn't really found anything about her mom. Will Lily ever find anything about her mom?

# data[].attributes.body
Is Zach going to appear in the book? He was mentioned on page 74 but hasn't been mentioned since then.

# data[].attributes.body
On page 90 it mentions "orthodox eclectic" what does that mean?

# data[].attributes.body
Could there be symbolism with the "calendar sisters" names? Essentially, does the month they are named after have some sort of significance?

# data[].attributes.body
What are the voices Lily keeps hearing? (page 71) Are they affecting her choices?

# data[].attributes.body
On page 70 (bottom) to 71 it states that Lily had a feeling that was magnetic from a candle inside a tall red glass, and she compared it to was when she got the feeling the time she walked back from the peach stand and the sun spread across the sky. How do these two things relate to the same feeling?

# data[].attributes.body
I've noticed that Lily is very interested in nature and bees especially, I was wondering if this could be a symbol throughout the whole book and what the bees and nature represent?

# data[].attributes.body
Does anyone think T.Ray will try to look for Lily and if he finds her how bad would the punishment be?

# data[].attributes.body
If Lily finds outs who killed her mother, how would her point of view change?

# data[].attributes.body
I think that it may be cool if we can read some of these chapters from T-Rays point of view. Maybe he is not that bad. Maybe if Lily really does not like him she could change the story a bit to make it seem that he is very bad.

# data[].attributes.body
Does anyone actually know Lily's mother? If so what will happen?

# data[].attributes.body
What does snuff mean? I think it means cigarettes but I'm not sure.

# data[].attributes.body
Does anyone else know about Lily's mom's death? In the book they don't seem to mention anyone else and maybe R.jay buried her body.

# data[].attributes.body
Did Lily's mom know that T.Ray was this abusive before they got into a relationship?

# data[].attributes.body
Did T. Ray always restrict Lily to going to places like football games, and pep rally's?

# data[].attributes.body

# data[].attributes.body
Do you guys think that T. Ray is abusive?

# data[].attributes.body
With the bees popping up in Lily's room does it mean someone was going to die, because earlier in the book Rosaleen said "Bees swarm before death."

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Lily didn't 🤬 her mom and I think that T.Ray killed her because when this happened Lily was only four years old and how is she going to remember this situation.

# data[].attributes.body
Did Lily do something that caused her mother's death?

# data[].attributes.body
On page 4 im pretty sure the quote "A person coulod get stung half to death in a room full of bees. Still, the sight was a true spectacle." means something but im not sure what. Does anyone know?

# data[].attributes.body
Is the narrator talking on the very first page imagining all of the bees?
