Saving CeeCee Honeycutt
reviewed on + 3559 more book reviews


This is a fine gift book. At age 12, CeeCee realizes her mother, flouncing around Willoughby, OH, in prom dresses and matching shoes, is crazy and the town's laughingstock. Her father is never home, and nothing is going to change so CeeCee buries herself in books as an escape. But her true liberation comes after her mother's tragic death when great-aunt Tootie sweeps CeeCee off to Savannah. There, a group of powerful, independent women offer the young girl love, laughter and a new chance at life. This is a great story when a young girl is taken from a crazy, unloved home to a world where women are empowered and special.
