Chapter+12

=Pages 232-244= This part of the book is probably one of the most important sections throughout the whole entire book. This part of the chapter, Lily finally had enough with the pretending and finally had the courage to tell August everything. Before she told August her whole life story, she asked about her mother. August said she knew her and how she lived in the honey house for awhile. After that, August confessed she knew who Lily was all along. This made Lily iritated, but she realized she was hiding much more things for August then August was with Lily. Then, she told her that her father actually didn't die, how he abused her pretty much her whole entire life, how Rosaleen got in jail, how she was in jail as well, and how she got Rosaleen out of jail. Lily then started crying. She was expecting August to say don't cry everything is going to be alright, like most grown ups do. Instead, August says to let it all out and Lily sure did. She cryed for a long while; gasping for air with her nose running and everything. She told August about her accidently killing her mother. August didn't nessesarily say that it wasn't her fault but she just said that it must be difficult carrying all that weight and sorrow all the time. August in this section also explained she worked for Lily's grandmother and mother for awhile. She explained that's why June can be such a jerk at times. She thought it was wrong that August worked for Lily's grandmother and mother. Lily also mentioned that she thinks she is a terrible person and is unloved. August told her everyone loves her at the honey house even June.

While Lily was talking to August, she came clean about why she left--T-Ray punishing her and Rosaleen getting in trouble. Lily thought that because she does wrong things( tell lies, hate people) and killed her mother, she was unlovable. However, August assures her that she is not because Rosaleen, May, Zach, June, daughters of Mary and August loves. She also mentioned that June did not like her at first because she could not get over that August worked for Lily's mom. After taking a little break, Lily tells August how they found the Boatwrights house. August tells Lily how she gave her mom the black Mary's picture and that her mom always wrote the place the picture was taken in the back of the picture. The page ends with Lily wondering how happy she would have been to be at one of her mother's tea parties. Urvi Patel
