Summary
1960s. For nearly her entire life, Gloria Ricci has been followed by bees. They're there when she first meets a neighborhood girl named Isabel, who brings out feelings in her that she knows she shouldn't have; and when her parents, desperate to "help" her, bring her to the Belmont Institute, whose glossy brochures promise healing and peace. Struggling to survive against the Institute's cold and damaging methods, she meets a fellow patient named Sheffield Schoeffler. They run away to Greenwich Village, where they create their own kind of family among the artists and wanderers who frequent the jazz bars and side streets. As Gloria tries to outrun her past, the bees remain her one constant. -- adapted from publisher info
