Loved this book! As other reviewers have said, it is part travel journal and partly an exploration of the mother-daughter relationship as each woman experiences transitions from one phase of life to another. Sue also talks at length about "The Secret Life of Bees," a story I enjoyed, which was conceived before this trip and researched during it. There is some spiritual exploration as well, during which Sue reevaluates her feelings about the Catholic Church and her commitment to it. Really engaging, and in the audio version, which I just posted, each author reads her section. Give it a chance!
