=== Plot === In 1964 South Carolina, Lily Owens lives on a peach orchard with her abusive, widowed father T. Ray. Ten years earlier, then-four-year-old Lily had accidentally shot her mother, Deborah, as she was attempting to leave T-Ray. In the present day, Lily's 14th birthday is approaching, and she celebrates the signing of the Civil Rights Act with her father’s Black hired help, Rosaleen. On the night before her birthday, Lily sneaks into the orchard, where she has secretly buried a few mementos of her mother, including a paper reading “Black Madonna Honey, Tiburon, SC.” She places the picture of her mother on her stomach to feel closer to her as she lays back to look at the stars.
