In The Secret Life of Bees, the author makes the argument that if you want to find something (like the truth, yourself, answers) you cannot always rely on others, but rather yourself to go out in the world and look for it yourself. In the beginning of the book the main character, lily, always asks her father about her mother (where she is, how she is doing etc) she later learned that she had to go out in the world to understand what had happened to her mother. She couldn't just expect her father to give her all the answers to life, and while finding out the truth about her mother, Lily found out so much more.
