Work detailsSaving CeeCee Honeycutt by Beth Hoffman
 wearylibrarian | Apr 26, 2013 |  A sweet, comfortable story to curl up with on a rainy day. The downside-- you keep waiting for something to happen and it just never really does... it stays a sweet, comfortable story all the way through. The lack of tension leaves a bit of a bland, sacharine aftertaste. (  ) KimJD | Apr 8, 2013 | This was not a favorite of mine. The story wasn't bad, and was well written with great characters, but it just didn't jump into my heart and capture me. You couldn't help but have empathy for poor CeeCee who seemed like such an intelligent little girl. There were plenty of great characters who were able to fill the story! I believe that the story flowed smoothly and the characters were well-defined, it just wasn't a story that held my interest. (  ) acorley84 | Apr 7, 2013 | I have to say, I loved the first part of this book. CeeCee's mom is truly a character and a half. While I understood that the book was more about CeeCee, I was drawn to her mom's character so much more and wish the author had actually spent more time on that storyline. That being said, I still grew to love CeeCee and the many women that she encountered in her life. Not too many men, other than her dad, who we really don't like, but grow to appreciate. The women are witty, snarky, and you can't help but fall in love with the way life is in Savannah, GA. They're typical, though, of any sort of book of the south that I've read - from The Help, YaYa, Secret Life of Bees, or anything else involving southern society ladies and African American domestics. Not too original in this respect. I think that's what finally stopped the interest for me - the fact that it became very much like all the other southern style books. That's what made CeeCee's mom so intriguing and added some spark to the story. Overall - the first part of the book was more along a 4, the last part, definitely a 2. Thus, I compromised with a 3 rating. ( ) salgalruns | Apr 6, 2013 | favorite new fiction featuring females set in the south (  ) lindap69 | Apr 5, 2013 | no reviews | add a review

CeeCee spent most of her first 12 years caring for her mother and dealing with her mother's mental illness. Her father was no help. As a traveling salesman, he spent most of his time away from home, and CcCee and her mother both suspected that another woman kept him busy when he wasn't on the road. When CeeCee's mother is hit and killed by a milk truck, CeeCee's father decides it is best for her to move to Savannah with her Great Aunt Tootie. In Savannah CeeCee meets a cast of characters, each very unique and at times a bit eccentric. CeeCee blossoms along with the Magnolias that first summer in Savannah and learns to forgive her parents and herself. (
