Women's Fiction Contemporary

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.

SAVING CEECEE HONEYCUTT explores the indomitable strengths of female friendship and gives us the story of a young girl who loses one mother and finds many others.

Re: Saving CeeCee Honeycutt

I know what you mean, my friendships are the most important thing that I treasure.
(Brenda Rupp 12:51pm February 22, 2010)

There's nothing like night out
with the girls. Whether it being
catching up with each others life
or bitching about the days
troubles, they always understand.

Friendship is essential for my well-being.

What would we do without our friends?
(Diane Sadler 7:19pm February 22, 2010)

Friends accept us for who we are. It is so wonderful to just be yourself. I love being able to be me!
(Rosemary Krejsa 8:10pm February 22, 2010)

Isn't it the truth? Friends really do make such a huge difference in the quality and joy of our lives. I'd be lost without them!
