"Saving CeeCee Honeycutt" by Beth Hoffman.
12 year old CeeCee Honeycutt, has had anything but a normal childhood. Camille, her mother, has suffered for years with mental health issues, and one day is tragically killed in a freak accident. CeeCee's father has been a non-existent presence most of her life, so when CeeCee's previously unknown great-aunt, Tootie Caldwell appears to whisk CeeCee away to live in Savannah, he gladly turns CeeCee over to Tootie.
CeeCee travels with Tootie from Ohio to Savannah in a vintage Packard convertible, seeing sights new and exciting, but not nearly as exciting as the strong Southern women she is about to meet through Tootie's amazing assortment of the women of Savannah. Through Tootie's love and support CeeCee is well on the way to healing, and becoming a strong person in her own right.
A wonderful coming of age story, with sights, smells and good common sense of what it is like to live in a Southern city where people still care about each other in their own particular way.
Hope you enjoy.
