Name the novel and the author.
"'Our Lady is not some magical being out there somewhere, like a fairy godmother. She's not the statue in the parlor. She's something inside of you. Do you understand what I'm telling you?' 'Our Lady is inside me,' I repeated, not sure I did."
Okay, I'm going to add another passage that might be more telling, give it a few days, and if there are no takers, I'll give up the answer :-) So, here goes...
"At night I would lie in bed and watch the show, how bees squeezed through the cracks of my bedroom wall and flew circles around the room, making that propeller sound, a high pitched zzzzzz that hummed along my skin....The way those bees flew, not even looking for a flower, just flying for the feel of the wind, split my heart down its seam."
I guess I will have to reveal the answer: The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd -- which of course was made into a movie, currently out on dvd.

I hope you don't mind--I was asked to pick six blogs that I thought were of a high quality and mention them on my blog, and I chose yours as one of those.
You are mentioned at shortstorydepot.blogspot.com.
That is very flattering and kind of you. Thank you.
You did not have to reveal the answer. I knew it with the second passage. oohbooks.blogspot.com
