Steel Magnolias meets The Help in this Southern debut novel sparkling with humor, heart, and feminine wisdom

Twelve-year-old CeeCee Honeycutt is in trouble. For years, she has been the caretaker of her psychotic mother, Camille-the tiara-toting, lipstick-smeared laughingstock of an entire town-a woman trapped in her long-ago moment of glory as the 1951 Vidalia Onion Queen. But when Camille is hit by a truck and killed, CeeCee is left to fend for herself. To the rescue comes her previously unknown great-aunt, Tootie Caldwell.

In her vintage Packard convertible, Tootie whisks CeeCee away to Savannah's perfumed world of prosperity and Southern eccentricity, a world that seems to be run entirely by women. From the exotic Miz Thelma Rae Goodpepper, who bathes in her backyard bathtub and uses garden slugs as her secret weapons, to Tootie's all-knowing housekeeper, Oletta Jones, to Violene Hobbs, who entertains a local police officer in her canary-yellow peignoir, the women of Gaston Street keep CeeCee entertained and enthralled for an entire summer.

Laugh-out-loud funny and deeply touching, Beth Hoffman's sparkling debut is, as Kristin Hannah says, "packed full of Southern charm, strong women, wacky humor, and good old-fashioned heart." It is a novel that explores the indomitable strengths of female friendship and gives us the story of a young girl who loses one mother and finds many others.

Saving Ceecee Honeycutt. A heartfelt story of a young girl struggling through a tragic and painful childhood to finally learn about belonging and love by three elderly women in Savannah, Georgia.

Delightful!. What a wonderful, refreshing book. So well written you feel as if you are there. Funny, sad, thoughtful, this book has it all!

saving cee cee Honeycutt. This was a sweet book and also sad. Sad, because CeeCee's father left her to deal with an insane mother and sweet that she did get beyond that period in her life.

Saving CeeCee Honeycut. I loved the rich characters and the touching relationships that develop in the story. Being a southern belle myself, I laughed, cried and cheered with the characters. What an accurate portrayal of southern women and the loyalty we feel with those we love and sometimes hate!

SAVING CEECEE HONEYCUTT. FABULOUSLY ENTERTAINING! LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT!

Saving Cee Cee Honeycutt. Wonderful story experienced through the words and emotions of a young girl. Very real. I chuckled and cried. Cee Cee and the women in her life will be with me for a long time.

Saving CeeCee Honeycutt. Loved this book! Such a sweet story...

Saving CeeCee Honeycutt. Loved this book! It was like Steele Magnolias, the Secret Life of Bees and The Help all rolled into one.

YEAAAAAHHHH CeeCee!!!!. This is one of those feel good books, that even though it is written from the perspective of a 12 year old even a 39 year old can relate. I think I started cheering for CeeCee from the beginning. Even though her circumstances could have hardened her and also driven her crazy she grew and blossomed and you know her future was indeed bright. Proves that we also must move away from what is familiar sometimes to excel, even from family and hometowns.

Saving CeeCee Honeycut. Loved this book. Great characters. Definitely a feel good book!

Saving CeeCee Honeycut. Loved it!! Laughed, cried, couldn't put it down. Made me want to go back in time and live in the south. Highly recommend it!!

Saving Cee Cee Honeycutt. I love this book; it absolutely warmed my heart. As a therapist, I so often see the healing processed get all botched up. These women are so wise and heartfelt they are the perfect recipe for love! May we all remember this simple and amazing recipe!

Excellent read!. This is the best book I've read in a while! I laughed, cried and got mad along with Cee Cee. The characters felt like family. Excellent read!

Saving CeeCee Honeycutt. FANTASTIC!! This is a book that makes you laugh and cry. Brought out the tragedy of mental illness. It seems that this book should have a sequel. A book I plan to purchase for my elderly Mother. After reading this book and The Help I got the story lines mixed up.

Sweet peaceful read.. Takes me back in time, to a more genteel time. We think of the 60's as turbulent, but more and more, I think today is worse in some ways. This book, tells me how. Sometimes a simple book says more, holds more, than all the exciting action books can ever thrill.

Saving CeeCee Honeycutt. This book was written beautifully. The story of growing up. Can' wait for her next book. Thanks for such a great book!

Delightful book.. I had a hard time putting this book down. The characters feel like family. She captured southern culture so well. Very well written. It was a delightful read.

Saving Cee Cee Honeycutt. Loved it. Made me happy inside. Perfect night reading.

Lovely book. Wonderfully written, warm and positive, leaves you with a pleasant feeling that in the end everything will turn out okay.

Good read. I was referred to this book after reading "The Help". It didn't disappoint. It's a heart-warming story and I'm glad it's in my collection.

loved this one!. If you loved The Help you are going to cherish this book.

Good easy read. Good book. Easy page turner.

Wonderful. This book was wonderful,it made me laugh and cry and feel hope.very nice book

Saving CeeCee Honeycutt. This is a wonderful book. I loved the way the author would describe things. I wish I could be part of this group of females!

Hope-filled and Beautiful. Beth Hoffman's SAVING CEECEE HONEYCUTT: A charming peek into one girl's summer as she recovers from a painful tragedy and ends up finding her heart and a home. Throughout the first part of the book, as the reader sees CeeCee's mother's psychosis through CeeCee's eyes, we experience heartbreak for a twelve-year-old girl who simply wants to be normal. After her mother dies and her father coldly lets her go, CeeCee goes to live with her great-aunt in an idyllic town in Georgia. Through her interactions, she works through the various emotions surrounding the tragedy, and, as the reader, I found myself healing along with CeeCee. I highly recommend this coming-of-age novel, for its vivid glimpse at a life healing from tremendous pain, and at the hope found in ordinary summer days in a home filled with love.

Saving CeeCee ... Beautifully written, very touching.

Saving CeeCee Honeycutt. What a truly happy, sad, funny novel of courage and hope. As a child of a woman who suffered from much the same mental illness as Camille, I related to the confused mother/daughter love she had for her mama. The women who saved her are a cast of characters to adore. This would make a fabulous movie. The descriptions of the characters, Savannah and the billowy prom dresses would translate so well on the Big Screen!!!

Wonderfully southern. I loved this book, such a sweet story!

Great Read. This was a great book with a Southern flavor. Similar in tone to The Help. A sad tale abut a little girl with a troubled childhood, who ended up in a great home with many friends. Humor and tragedy woven together for a great summer read.

Remarkable. Wonderful book with simple twists and turns that all Southern Girls can relate to!

Wonderful book!. I enjoyed this sweet and funny book! It reminded me so much of my 1960’s childhood. I was raised in South Georgia and still live here so I can relate to the southern humor. I highly recommend this book for southern ladies who have enjoyed living in the South.

Sweetness. I enjoyed every page! As an educator it’s heartwarming to read about a traumatized child’s life to take a turn for the better!

Heartfelt. What a great book about the strength of women pulling together to make things happen in this world when a man fails to show up.

Amazing book. Wonderful book for mothers and their daughters. A heart warming tale that will open your eyes. A must read.

Loved it!!!. I am so happy this book was recommended to me to read!

Saving Cee Cee Honeycut. Moving story. Makes you laugh right out loud. Great characters. The sad parts are part of the ride.

Love. I absolutely adore CeeCee Honeycutt I laughed and cried with her through the pages of her life. Hoffman hits the nail on the head in the way she paints the picture of wonderful Savannah, it's as if I can close my eyes and smell the gardens. I will add this book to my LifeBook and refer to it often as I long to live and breathe and be apart of the southern living lifestyle.

Saving Cee Cee Honeycutt. Simply a beautifully written book that left me looking anxiously at the number of pages left. I didn’t want it to end.

Southern love. Being from the south and growing up in the 60’s, this book reminded me of my past. I love the characters and how they loved on a child that had a hard young life. They showed unconditional love.

Saving Cee Cee Honeycutt. An adorable book! Loved it from the start. Takes you back to childhood when simply being loved and cared for while also being accepted by peers is all that matters. You will root for CeeCee all the way!
