Helpful Score: 4

This is a sad but sweet story of Cecelia Honeycutt, a 12 year old with a psychotic mother and an emotionally distant father. When her mother is killed in an accident, an aunt that CeeCee has never met before shows up to sweep her away to a whole new life. Rich with detail, and at least one sub-plot about race relations in Georgia in 1967, this is a highly enjoyable read about how we define family and the bonds we make.
