CeeCee, a young adolescent, becomes the “adult” her mom has to count on when her dad basically abandons them both when times get hard. CeeCee’s mom is dealing with bipolar and schizophrenia disorders, and her dad cannot take the emotional toll her diseases puts on him so he stays away on business trips.Eventually, the diseases have a tragic end for CeeCee’s mom, and CeeCee is forced to move to Savannah, Georgia with her Aunt Tootie, whom she has never met. Moving to Savannah, CeeCee meets a collection of very eccentric and proud southern women.
These women, through their own experience and knowledge show CeeCee that life is always going to have problems, but it is ultimately up to you how you decide to deal with them. These different women eventually give CeeCee two things that she never had: a family and a childhood.
This is one of the best novels that I have ever read.
