"Steel Magnolias" meets "The Help" in this Southern debut novel sparkling with humor, heart, and feminine wisdom. Laugh-out-loud funny, Hoffman's charming work offers the story of a young girl who loses one mother and finds many others.
For years, 12-year-old CeeCee Honeycutt has been the caretaker of her psychotic mother, Camille-the tiara-toting, lipstick-smeared laughingstock of an entire town. 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 from Savannah, Tootie Caldwell, who whirls CeeCee into her world of female friendship, strong women, wacky humor, and good old-fashioned heart.

Add a CommentI didn't make it all the way through this one. From what I'd heard it was going to be the same sort of warm story as "The Secret Life of Bees" but it never quite made it. The beginning was interesting enough. The mad mother was a great character, (who I kept imagining as a crazy version of Miss Celia in the movie version of "The Help" but then Cee Cee gets saved from this rather unstable existence. Consequently, her life becomes so much better for her, but so much more BORING for the reader.

Very pleasant book!
Heart warming!
Sensational read! Nothing too graphic (like much of the fiction today). Happy read, happy ending.
I loved this book--it's everything I normally avoid, but I adored CeeCee and the wonderful characters who save her.
A book best read by preteens - juvenile and predictable plot.
A rave review and pick of the month from the retail side. Pennie Clark Ianniciello, Costco's book buyer, has chosen Saving CeeCee Honeycutt by Beth Hoffman as her pick of the month for November. In Costco Connection she wrote: "I'm not one to judge a book by its cover, but I admit that a title may have some sway over me. From the moment I first heard the words Saving CeeCee Honeycutt, I knew I had to read Beth Hoffman's debut novel. And believe me, am I ever glad that I did. "From beginning to end, I loved this book. I dare anyone not to be charmed by 12-year-old CeeCee. When her mother is killed in an accident, CeeCee is sent to Savannah, Georgia, to live with her great-aunt Tallulah Caldwell. "CeeCee finds herself living a life of privilege surrounded by a bevy of colorful and larger-than-life, eccentric Southern women. "Not only are the characters the kind that stick with a reader, but Savannah seems to take on the status of a character with scenery that's a far cry from CeeCee's native Ohio."
I enjoyed this book from cover to cover and have been recommending it to everyone.
This book is funny, touching. Cee Cee is such a lovable character! It made me what to visit the south!
