Our book group pick for today was Little Bee by Kline. This was about an Angolan girl who escaped the taking over of her little village by people who wanted the land for oil.

When she got out she looked up the couple who had saved her on the beach. The man had dropped his drivers license and she had that for the address, There are many twists to the story about the English couple and their little boy and the wifes boyfriend,
