Overview

{"p":[{"strong":{"em":"FOREIGN BODY"}},"Along the way, Bee falls in love with Cherry, a beguiling character equal parts tender and violent. With Cherry, she discovers another side of sex: their pleasures heightened to ecstasy by their custom of cross-dressing. But, eventually, Cherry’s tender qualities are subsumed by the violent ones and Bee flees; she leaves their son and daughter with her grandmother and escapes to Brooklyn, New York to take a job as the caretaker of an Orthodox Jewish family. In Brooklyn, she forms a special bond with Mistress Kuchinski—particularly after an attempted assault on Bee by Kuchinski’s rabbi-husband that ends up resulting in Bee’s own imprisonment.","After she is released with Mistress Kuchinski’s help, Bee starts a lucrative sewing business and sends for her two children. Despite herself, Bee falls deeply in love with Pastor Amy, the Jamaican-American minister of an Anglican church—and an outspoken lesbian. Pastor Amy moves into the brownstone with Bee and her children, and together they take a mortgage as joint owners. Bee feels the longing to become a mother again—in vitro, the child to be raised with Pastor Amy—with a rehabilitated Cherry, freshly arrived from the West Indies, as the donor-father. In the final pages it becomes clear that it is this unborn child, along with the reader, to whom Bee tells her unforgettable story."]}
