Hi this is Betsy from Otto’s.  Saving CeeCee Honeycutt is the story of a 12 year old girl who is all but abandoned by her father who has a job that takes him away from his dysfunctional family.  At seven, CeeCee, had to be her own parent and her manic mother’s caretaker as well.  She has no school friends and lives through the books she reads.  An elderly neighbor gives her the only love she knows other than the lavish affection her mother gives her when she’s “in the mood.”  After her mother is killed by a car, CeeCee is sent to live in Savannah with a great aunt she’d never known.  Her aunt, her aunt’s cook and all their friends create the nurturing home that helps her deal with guilt, grief and her raging resentment of her father.  Simply told, with exuberant Southern characters and extravagant Southern hospitality, Saving CeeCee Honecutt, a first novel by Beth Hoffman, is a winner!  You’ll find it at Otto’s, 'a booklover’s paradise in the heart of Downtown Williamsport.'
