Saving Ceecee Honeycutt

It was the first meeting of the Reading Btw The Wines book club, this past Monday. We had a good showing considering we are all busy with kids, jobs, sports, life.... Kerri was the organizer/hostess. Not everyone had finished the book so we made sure to not discuss the end and went over the similarities between this book and The Secret Lives of Bees.

1. Abusive father

2. Black nanny mother figure

3. blamed herself for her mother's death



Others thought it reminded them of Steel Magnolias. Sure enough, one review I read, said it was Steel Magnolias meets The Help.

Everyone seemed happy with our first book though it was pointed out that, in the future, we should try to choose books that are in paperback.



Our next meeting will be Sept 28th. We will be discussing the American classic, To Kill A Mockingbird. Ashley will be the hostess so will be choosing the what time and where.

See everyone next month.

Happy Reading,
Marla
