Wonderful story about a young girl who has to deal with the antics of a mentally ill mother when the dad basically abandons them. She goes to live with an aunt in Savannah and how this completely changes her life. Loved how they talked about "writing chapters in your life book" and closing one chapter to start another. Yes, some of it is feel-good but not totally as the author paints a vivid picture of this little girl giving up her childhood to be the caretaker of her psychotic mother. Through her aunt and her friends, a group of strong and independent women, CeeCee moves on to the next chapter and gets a fresh start. Love the interactions of CeeCee with her aunt and her neighbors as well as her cook and her group of friends as well. Excellent book!
