The various motifs in Beth Hoffman’s Saving CeeCee Honeycutt have all been done before: tragic circumstances, a wide-eyed and courageous young protagonist, The South with its moss-covered trees and exotic flowers and buzzing critters, eccentric Southern women, including a wise, loving, tough-as-nails black housekeeper. No, there isn’t much to call “original” about Saving CeeCee Honeycutt, but I loved it anyway.

I just finished Sara Gruen’s Water for Elephants, and I feel like shouting “I LOVED THIS BOOK!” It’s one of those times when I wish I could talk to another enthusiastic reader of the book right away.
