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.

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!
