Cee Cee Honeycutt survives the tragic death of her mentally disturbed, yet free-spirited mother, only to be separated from her father to go live with her elderly aunt in Savannah Georgia in the 1960s. There she meets and befriends many older women, all free spirits in their own way.
This is an okay novel. I was thoroughly engaged with the story while reading it, and read it quickly, but felt like it was geared more toward young adults, and even then, felt there is too much of a Pollyanna undertone to the some of the more serious situations in the story.
I happened to be vacationing in Savannah when I started reading the book, ironically. Totally not planned on my part. It did make reading the book much more interesting, having actually been in the city and neighborhoods described in the novel.
Recommended only for those really interested in novels about Savannah. Really.
