The Secret Life of Bees is a book about a girl named Lily who lived her whole life knowing that she killed her mother. Even though it was truly an accident, she still feels the guilt. Now she is on a mission to escape from her abusive father with her stand-in mother, Rosaleen and follow the only trace of her mother to Tiburon, South Carolina. There she meets a family of sisters and they tell her about her mother. The main event of this book is when Lily runs away from home. The cause of this event is that her father was abusive and she did not want to be with him anymore.
When Lily runs away from home, the effect is that she meets the family of sisters in South Carolina. If she never would have met them, she never would have found out anything about her mother. She would have been seeking answers for the rest of her life. In the end, she also ends up living with August, away from her father forever, so if she never met the sisters, she would still be living with her father.
i liked how you emphasized the abusive part of the father daughter relationship. You didn't really include the cause of the main event though.
