Saving CeeCee Honeycutt
by
Beth Hoffman
adult fiction
Twelve year old CeeCee is being raised by a mentally deranged mother and an absentee father in Willoughby, Ohio in the late 1950's. Fate intervenes and she ends up living in Savannah, Georgia with her mother's aunt. Can CeeCee recover from years of being neglected by her parents? With the help of some fine Southern ladies, hopefully the answer will be yes.
Ohio readers should note that some of this book is set in Willoughby and Columbus and even Orwell are mentioned briefly. The author is from Cincinnati.
I couldn't help but think that readers could "compare and contrast" this story to "The Help".
