The dangers of smoking can not be over-emphasized. I smoked for more than 10 years without being able to quit. In fact, I had already given up until I stumbled on this book that made all the difference and with a little determination on my part, I was able to quit.. I haven't smoked in 1 year and i don't plan to go back to it as I'm feeling as good as I have never felt in 10 years.
Here's the book. It is absolutely free. It did help me so I decided to share it as my way of giving back... tiny.one/goodread
Once again, I have met my primary goal of reading 100 books this past year! For more details on this and my other reading goals from last year, check my blog. You can also see a listing of these books on my Goodreads page.
هيءُ ڪتابُ، دراصل، هندوستان جي هِڪَ نامور مؤرخ ايڇ ايم سيروائي [Hormasji Maneckji Seervai] جي انگريزي ٻوليءَ ۾ لِکيل هڪ تحقيقي مَقالي ”Partition of India:Legend and Reality“ جو سِنڌي ترجمو آهي، جيڪو هندوستان جي ورهاڱي ۽ پاڪستان جي ٺهڻ جي حوالي سان هڪ انتهائي اهم ۽ پُرمغز مَقالو آهي، ۽ اِهو ئي سبب آهي، جو مُون اُن ڪتابَ کي پنهنجي تحقيقي ڪَمَ ۾ هڪ ماخذ طور پڻ استعمال ڪيو آهي. جيتوڻيڪ ڪتاب جي اهڙي اهميت کي ڏسندي، مون اُن کي سِنڌيءَ ۾ ترجمي ڪرڻ جو اِرادو ڪري ورتو هو، پر پنهنجي تحقيقي ڪم واريءَ مصروفيت سببان اُن جو تڪڙو ترجمو ته نه ڪري سگهيم، البت، جڏهن وقت مليو، ته اُن جو ترجمو ڪرڻ شروع ڪري ڏنم، ۽ ائين، لڳاتار ڏهن مهينن جي محنت کان پوءِ هاڻ هيءُ مقالو لائق پڙهندڙن جي هٿن ۾ پهتو آهي.
ايڇ ايم سيروائي صاحب هيءُ سڄو ڪتابُ، عائشه جلال جي انگريزي ڪتابَ The Sole Spokesman, Jinnah Muslims League and the Demand for Pakistan جي پڙهڻ کانپوءِ ئي لکيو هو، ۽ دراصل، اُنهيءَ ڪتابَ کيس اُهو تَحَرڪُ ڏنو، ته هُو هندوستان جي ورهاڱي جي موضوع تي ظاهر ٿيل تازي رڪارڊ ۽ دستاويزي ثبوتن سان نئين سر تحقيقي بنيادن تي جائزو وٺي ۽ اصل حقيقتن، ڳالهين توڙي مفروضن کي تاريخ جي رڪارڊ تي آڻي، ته جئين ورهاڱي ۽ پاڪستان جي ٺهڻ جي حوالي سان فِڪِرَ جي دُنيا ۾ ڦهلجندڙ اڪيچار غلط ۽ من گهڙت مفروضن جو سدباب ٿي سگهي، ۽ اُنهي سوچَ تحت سيروائي صاحب کي هيءُ ڪتاب Partition of India:Legend and Reality لکڻو پيو، جنهن ڳالهه جو ليکڪ پاڻ به اعتراف ڪيو آهي. بهرحال، ايڇ ايم سيروائي صاحب پنهنجي هنَ ڪتابَ ۾ عائشه جلال جي مُؤقِفَ جي حمايت ۾ اُهو مُؤقِفُ رکيو آهي، ته هندوستان جي ورهاڱي ۽ پاڪستان ٺاهڻ جي ذميوار صحيح معنى ۾ مُسلم ليگ ۽ جناح نه، پر خود ڪانگريس ۽ اُن جي ليڊرشپ هئي، جنهن جي ڪوتاهه انديشي ۽ سياسي ناباليدگي سببان حالتون ورهاڱي ۽ پاڪستان جي قيام ڏانهن هليون ويون. اهڙي مؤقِفَ سان گڏ سِيروائي صاحب مُسلم ليگ جي جذباتيت تي به لکيو آهي، جنهن ڪري هيءُ ڪتاب ۽ اُن جو تحقيقي مُوقِفُ، اڪيڊمڪ هجڻ سان گڏ نهايت متوازن به بڻجي پيو آهي. دراصل، ڪتابَ جي اُنهيءَ خُوبيءَ مون کي اُن جي ترجمي ڪرڻ جو تَحَرڪُ ڏنو.
هنَ ڪتابَ جي ٻي اهم ڳالهه اِها آهي، جو هيءُ سڄو ڪتاب هندوستان ۾ رهندڙ هڪ هندو مُحقق جو لِکيل آهي، جنهن ۾ هُن جنهن غيرجانبدار انداز ۽ رويي سان اصل حقيقتن جو جائزو وٺي، جيڪي نتيجا ڪڍيا آهن، اُن مان ليکڪ جي سياسي ڏاهپَ، غيرمعمولي ڄاڻ، تجزياتي صلاحيتَ ۽ تَحقيقي مَهارتَ جو ڀليءَ ڀت اندازو ٿئي ٿو، ۽ ٻيو ته، هنَ سَڄي ڪتاب ۾، هندوستان جي ورهاڱي ۽ پاڪستان جي قيام بابت جن معاملن کي بحث هيٺ آندو ويو آهي، اُهي سمورا معاملا ٺوس سياسي نوعَ وارا آهن، جنهن مان اُهو پڻ واضح ٿئي ٿو، ته پاڪستان جو ٺهڻ يا اُن جو قيامُ، ڪنهن به طرح سان نام نهاد ٻه قومي نظرئي يا ڪنهن مَذهبي تَصَورَ جي بُنيادَ تي نه، پر گڏيل هندوستان جي مَرڪَزَ جي سياسي جوڙجَڪَ ۽ اُن ۾ هندو ۽ مُسلمانن جي سياسي برابريءَ واري سوال تي، ڪانگريس ۽ مُسلم ليگ ۾ ظاهر ٿيل عدم اتفاقَ واري ٺوس سياسي تڪراري صورتحال سببان عمل هيٺ آيو. بهرحال، هنَ سڄي ڪتاب ۾ جنهن انداز سان سرڪاري رڪارڊ ۽ دستاويزي ثُبوتن کي پيش ڪيو ويو آهي، ۽ جنهن مُدلل انداز سان تاريخي سچائين کي ثبوتن سان گڏ پڌرو ڪيو ويو آهي، اُن ڳالهه ڪتابَ کي تحقيقي ۽ تاريخي لحاظ کان انتهائي اهم ۽ Authentic بڻائي ڇڏيو آهي. اُن ڪري، ائين چئي سگهجي ٿو، ته ورهاڱي جي مُوضوع تي، هيءُ هڪ انتهائي اهم ۽ پُرمَغز ڪتاب آهي. اُن جو مُطالعو، پاڪستان جي تاريخ ۽ سياست سان دلچسپي رکندڙ شاگردن لاءِ نهايت ضروري آهي، ۽ اُميد اٿم ته، هيءُ ڪتاب ورهاڱي ۽ پاڪستان جي قيام واري معاملي سان لاڳاپيل اڪيچار غلط، من گهڙت ۽ مفروضاتي ڳالهين کي رد ڪري، پاڪستانَ ۽ ورهاڱي بابت تاريخي مَعروضِيتَ تي ٻَڌل صحيح ۽ حقيقي مؤقِفَ کي اُڀاريندو. ياد رهي ته، هيءُ ڪتابُ به، منهنجي پاڪستان جي تاريخ ۽ سياست تي 20 ڪتابَ لِکڻ واري تحقيقي رٿا جو حصو آهي ۽ اِهو ڪُل رٿا جو چوٿون ڪتابُ آهي. حياتي رهي ته هِنَ رٿا جا ٻيا ڪتابَ به جلد پڌرا ٿي رڪارڊ تي ايندا.

“Martians, Go Home” is a broad satire of the human race as seen through the eyes of a billion jeering, invulnerable Martians who arrive not to conquer the world but to drive it crazy.
The following is a brief biography of Fredric Brown from the Goodreads website (at www.goodreads.com/author/show/51503.Fredric_Brown):
"Fredric Brown was an American science fiction and mystery writer. He was one of the boldest early writers in genre fiction in his use of narrative experimentation. While never in the front rank of popularity in his lifetime, Brown has developed a considerable cult following in the almost half century since he last wrote. His works have been periodically reprinted and he has a worldwide fan base, most notably in the U.S. and Europe, and especially in France, where there have been several recent movie adaptations of his work. He also remains popular in Japan.
"Never financially secure, Brown - like many other pulp writers - often wrote at a furious pace in order to pay bills. This accounts, at least in part, for the uneven quality of his work. A newspaperman by profession, Brown was only able to devote 14 years of his life as a full-time fiction writer. Brown was also a heavy drinker, and this at times doubtless affected his productivity. A cultured man and omnivorous reader whose interests ranged far beyond those of most pulp writers, Brown had a lifelong interest in the flute, chess, poker, and the works of Lewis Carroll. Brown married twice and was the father of two sons."

This past spring, as I walked through our little wooded area, these wild flowers spoke to me. I've spent my spare hours since painting them. Today, I think I'm finished. I can't do anything more for them.
Since I've been attracted to painting "stuff in a container on the grass", I looked for a container I'd not painted before. This old silver-plate platter was perfect! It held the beautiful flowers nicely, but also reflected their place in nature. You can see hints of the sky and the grass here and there. Finished! Now, what to name the painting? The icing on the cake of making a painting for me is to come up with a title. I wanted to convey the unfathomable beauty and fragility of wild flowers in nature. And, the unfathomable beauty, fragility and importance of the natural world.
So, I went to my favourite source for quotes, GoodReads. This quote stood out for me:
“A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
Albert Einstein
Embracement it is.
A random view in macro.
Nothing personal in this one. It is meant, in the nicest possible way, for everyone out there.
Innocent attempts at abstractions, with images of industrial artefacts, always appear to invite utterly unfounded suspicions, or totally baseless allegations, of deliberate offence.
Makes one begin to empathize a bit with folks who tried to clear up misunderstood statements, in a different context, with AJP.
I was tempted, but using that line as a title would probably have invited a DMCA take down.

From Goodreads - The fifty contestants in the Miss Teen Dream pageant thought this was going to be a fun trip to the beach, where they could parade in their state-appropriate costumes and compete in front of the cameras. But sadly, their airplane had another idea, crashing on a desert island and leaving the survivors stranded with little food, little water, and practically no eyeliner.
What's a beauty queen to do? Continue to practice for the talent portion of the program - or wrestle snakes to the ground? Get a perfect tan - or learn to run wild? And what should happen when the sexy pirates show up?
Welcome to the heart of non-exfoliated darkness. Your tour guide? None other than Libba Bray, the hilarious, sensational, Printz Award-winning author of A Great and Terrible Beauty and Going Bovine. The result is a novel that will make you laugh, make you think, and make you never see beauty the same way again
********************************************************************************************************
My Review - This is one of the weirdest books I have ever read and I mean that in a good way. if I had to describe Beauty Queens in one word, that word would be Trippy. I would love to take a trip through Libba Bray's mind. It has to be a lot of fun.

This image of Dr. James Watson was part of Apple’s "Educators Set", which was printed in 2000 and distributed through its Education Channels. Included with the set was a biography of each person depicted. Here is an excerpt: "Dr. James Watson: ‘Code cracker’. In his late teens, his boyhood passion for bird-watching blossomed into a yearning to understand genetics. After earning a Ph.D. in zoology in the early ‘50s, he and Francis Crick proposed a radical new insight into understanding the structure of the DNA molecule, which contains the genetic code for all life. He was an early leader of the Human Genome Project. He has published five books and numerous scientific papers. And his curriculum vitae includes honorary degrees from 25 universities and 18 awards, including the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine (1962). He is known for the greatest achievement of science in the twentieth century."
“The Tragedy of Pudd’nhead Wilson” is one of Twain’s lesser known novels, but it may be one of his best. Set in the early years of the 19th century, this pre-Civil War satire tackles social issues still being debated today. Here is what the Goodreads website has to say about the novel (at www.goodreads.com/book/show/682793.Pudd_nhead_Wilson):
“At the beginning of Pudd'nhead Wilson a young slave woman, fearing for her infant's son's life, exchanges her light-skinned child with her master's. From this rather simple premise Mark Twain fashioned one of his most entertaining, funny, yet biting novels. On its surface, Pudd'nhead Wilson possesses all the elements of an engrossing nineteenth-century mystery: reversed identities, a horrible crime, an eccentric detective, a suspenseful courtroom drama, and a surprising, unusual solution. Yet it is not a mystery novel. Seething with the undercurrents of antebellum southern culture, the book is a savage indictment in which the real criminal is society, and racial prejudice and slavery are the crimes. Written in 1894, Pudd'nhead Wilson glistens with characteristic Twain humor, with suspense, and with pointed irony: a gem among the author's later works.”
The book contains over a thousand illustrations, which are distributed in the margins throughout the text, a technique that had never before been used for a Mark Twain text. Two artists, F. M. Senior and C. H. Warren, supplied the copious, cartoon-sized pictures required for this mode of illustration.
The first edition of the book also has a bonus story called “Those Extraordinary Twins.” "‘Those Extraordinary Twins’ was published as a short story, separate and distinct from its origins inside Twain's ‘The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson.’ As Twain explains, he extricated ‘Twins’ from ‘Pudd'nhead’ when he found, as he was writing, that he'd created a farce inside a tragedy. This is the excised farce, a story about Italian Siamese twins who completely take over a small Missouri town, splitting it down the middle with half supporting one head and the other, the other.” [From the Introduction by John Greenman for the LibriVox audio edition of the “Twins” story at librivox.org/those-extraordinary-twins-by-mark-twain/]

Tee-shirt takes its name from this historic spread that appeared on Pps 26-27 in JimiGW-Cover 3-88 Guitar World, HENDRIX LIVES!: THE UNPUBLISHED HENDRIX, VOL. II, in a spread called "Jimi Jam": [http://flic.kr/p/4UUk4c].
The rectangular slice is from Susan Mendelson , the wedge is adapted from Mark Bittman .
Mendelson's cheesecake was lighter and sweeter. Bittman's was quite dense, had a more pronounced cheese flavour, and (as seen) a thicker crust. It was also more fiddly to make, developed horrifying fissures at the top, and ended up looking like the San Andreas Fault of cheesecakes. But it tasted fine, as did Mendelson's, each in its own way.
Susan Mendelson's Famous Lemon Cheesecake:
Crust:
1 1/3 cups (325 mL) Graham wafer crumbs
1/3 cup (75 mL) butter
quarter cup brown sugar
Mix the above together and press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. (My square 9-inch Pyrex-type pan was fine.) Bake in the oven at 350° F (180° C) for 5 minutes.
Filling:
1 lb (500 gm) cream cheese [I used Western.]
3 medium eggs
half cup (125 mL) sour cream
2/3 cup (150 mL) sugar
2 tablesp (25 mL) lemon juice
Bake in the oven at 350° F (180° C) for 30-35 minutes
Topping:
1 cup (250 mL) sour cream
4 tablesp (50 mL) sugar
2 tablesp (25 mL) lemon juice
Mix together and spread over the cheesecake. Return to the oven for 5 minutes.
Chill thoroughly in the fridge (several hours, preferably) before serving.
-------------------
Mark Bittman's Lemon Cheesecake with Sour Cream Topping:
Graham Cracker Crust: (Double this crust recipe for the Lemon Cheesecake)
6 tablesp (3 oz) unsalted butter
6 oz graham cracker crumbs
3 tablespoons sugar
Melt the butter. Combine sugar with the graham cracker crumbs in a bowl or food processor. Slowly add the butter till well blended. Press the crumbs into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. To prebake: heat the oven to 350°F. Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, until it just begins to brown. Cool on a rack before filling.
Filling:
4 eggs, separated
24 oz cream cheese [I used a mixture of ricotta, Philadelphia, and Western cream cheese ]
grated zest and juice of one lemon
1 cup sugar
1 tablesp all-purpose flour
Topping (optional):
2 cups sour cream
1 tablesp sugar
1 teasp vanilla extract
-----------------
Make a double recipe of the Graham Cracker crust, as above. Find an oven-proof pan large enough serve as a water-bath for the springform pan. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Boil water in the kettle for the water bath.
Separate the eggs. Beat the egg whites till they hold soft peaks. Put them aside.
Beat the egg yolks till they're light. Add cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice, sugar. Beat till smooth. Stir in the flour. Gently fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture. Pour the batter over the prepared and cooled crust.
Put the springform pan into the larger pan for the water bath, and add hot water to the water bath so that it comes to within an inch of the top of the springform pan. After I've gauged the amount of water needed, I remove the springform pan, and carefully carry both pans separately to the oven. (Safer than carrying a fuller pan with sloshing hot water.) Then I return the springform pan to its water bath, in the oven.
Bake until the cheesecake is just set, and very lightly browned, approx 1 hour.
Turn the oven up to 450° F if making the topping. [I'd try 350°F next time.] Combine the topping ingredients, and spoon the mixture over the cheesecake. Return it to the oven for 10 minutes, without the water bath.
Then turn off the oven, leaving the cheesecake in there for a further 30 minutes. [Not sure how necessary this particular step is; may shorten - or even omit? - it next time.]
Chill thoroughly in the fridge before serving.
---------------
Next time, I might try a combination of the Bittman crust (but with brown sugar), Mendelson filling with the same 3 cheeses as I used for Bittman, and Mendelson baking times/method for the filling. Not sure which topping to go with.

From Goodreads - The Slabaugh family are model Amish farmers, prosperous and hardworking, with four children and a happy extended family. When the parents and an uncle are found dead in their barn, it appears to be a gruesome accident: methane gas asphyxiation caused by a poorly ventilated cesspit. But in the course of a routine autopsy, the coroner discovers that one of the victims suffered a head wound before death—clearly, foul play was involved. But who would want to make orphans of the Slabaughs’ children? And is this murder somehow related to a recent string of shocking hate crimes against the Amish?
Having grown up Amish, Kate is determined to bring the killer to justice. Because the other series of attacks are designated hate crimes, the state sends in agent John Tomasetti, with whom Kate has a long and complex relationship. Together, they search for the link between the crimes—and uncover a dark secret at work beneath the placid surface of this idyllic Amish community.

My Review -This is book 3 in the Kate Burkholder series. If you haven't read the first 2 yet I suggest you do. If you don't you won't be able to really understand the dynamics or anything else that goes on or understand why Kate and the rest of the characters do what they do. One of the first things you have to understand is that you can't lump all Amish into the same group. They have many different sects and they range from the old order to the more modern. I would even suggest you go as far as to read a little something about the religion before even commenting.
Now that my little rant is over I have to admit that book 3 is the weakest of the series and is not my favorite. It was good, but the excitement that I saw in book 1 & 2 is really not there. Either I'm getting good at guessing who did it or the author didn't really bother to make this much of a mystery. I pretty much had it figured out right in the beginning. Another thing I would suggest to the readers is that if you have a problem with taboo issues, you should on this one. The main character, Kate, seems to be falling down a black hole. Not a literal black hole, but an emotional one that she is going to have some serious issues getting out of. I would have assumed that as time goes on she would grow. That does not seem to be the case with Kate. She is letting her past rule her future. It's a slippery slope that she headed down and she doesn't seem to care. She seemed so strong in the beginning and now she just seems whiny and pathetic with no clear direction of which way she is headed
A photo of Frederic Brown is on the cover. The following is a brief biography of Fredric Brown (1906-1972) from the Goodreads website (at www.goodreads.com/author/show/51503.Fredric_Brown):
"Fredric Brown was an American science fiction and mystery writer. He was one of the boldest early writers in genre fiction in his use of narrative experimentation. While never in the front rank of popularity in his lifetime, Brown has developed a considerable cult following in the almost half century since he last wrote. His works have been periodically reprinted and he has a worldwide fan base, most notably in the U.S. and Europe, and especially in France, where there have been several recent movie adaptations of his work. He also remains popular in Japan.
"Never financially secure, Brown - like many other pulp writers - often wrote at a furious pace in order to pay bills. This accounts, at least in part, for the uneven quality of his work. A newspaperman by profession, Brown was only able to devote 14 years of his life as a full-time fiction writer. Brown was also a heavy drinker, and this at times doubtless affected his productivity. A cultured man and omnivorous reader whose interests ranged far beyond those of most pulp writers, Brown had a lifelong interest in the flute, chess, poker, and the works of Lewis Carroll. Brown married twice and was the father of two sons."

“The Tragedy of Pudd’nhead Wilson” is one of Twain’s lesser known novels, but it may be one of his best. Set in the early years of the 19th century, this pre-Civil War satire tackles social issues still being debated today. Here is what the Goodreads website has to say about the novel (at www.goodreads.com/book/show/682793.Pudd_nhead_Wilson):
“At the beginning of Pudd'nhead Wilson a young slave woman, fearing for her infant's son's life, exchanges her light-skinned child with her master's. From this rather simple premise Mark Twain fashioned one of his most entertaining, funny, yet biting novels. On its surface, Pudd'nhead Wilson possesses all the elements of an engrossing nineteenth-century mystery: reversed identities, a horrible crime, an eccentric detective, a suspenseful courtroom drama, and a surprising, unusual solution. Yet it is not a mystery novel. Seething with the undercurrents of antebellum southern culture, the book is a savage indictment in which the real criminal is society, and racial prejudice and slavery are the crimes. Written in 1894, Pudd'nhead Wilson glistens with characteristic Twain humor, with suspense, and with pointed irony: a gem among the author's later works.”
The book contains over a thousand illustrations, which are distributed in the margins throughout the text, a technique that had never before been used for a Mark Twain text. Two artists, F. M. Senior and C. H. Warren, supplied the copious, cartoon-sized pictures required for this mode of illustration.
The first edition of the book also has a bonus story called “Those Extraordinary Twins.” "‘Those Extraordinary Twins’ was published as a short story, separate and distinct from its origins inside Twain's ‘The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson.’ As Twain explains, he extricated ‘Twins’ from ‘Pudd'nhead’ when he found, as he was writing, that he'd created a farce inside a tragedy. This is the excised farce, a story about Italian Siamese twins who completely take over a small Missouri town, splitting it down the middle with half supporting one head and the other, the other.” [From the Introduction by John Greenman for the LibriVox audio edition of the “Twins” story at librivox.org/those-extraordinary-twins-by-mark-twain/]
“If you obsess over whether you are making the right decision, you are basically assuming that the universe will reward you for one thing and punish you for another.
The universe has no fixed agenda. Once you make any decision, it works around that decision. There is no right or wrong, only a series of possibilities that shift with each thought, feeling, and action that you experience.
If this sounds too mystical, refer again to the body. Every significant vital sign- body temperature, heart rate, oxygen consumption, hormone level, brain activity, and so on- alters the moment you decide to do anything… decisions are signals telling your body, mind, and environment to move in a certain direction.”

Book description
Secrets. Their weight can be crushing, but their release can change everything—and not necessarily for the better. Ian is no stranger to secrets. Being a gay teen in a backwater southern town, Ian must keep his orientation under wraps, especially since he spends a lot of time with his hands all over members of the same sex, pinning their sweaty, hard bodies to the wrestling mat. When he’s trying not to stare at teammates in the locker room, he’s busy hiding another secret—that he starves himself so he doesn’t get bumped to the next weight class. Enter Julian Yang, an Adonis with mesmerizing looks and punk rocker style. Befriending the flirtatious artist not only raises suspicion among his classmates, but leaves Ian terrified he’ll give in to the desires he’s fought to ignore. As secrets come to light, Ian’s world crumbles. Disowned, de-friended, and deserted by nearly everyone, Ian’s one-way ticket out of town is revoked, leaving him trapped in a world he hates—and one that hates him back.

Twelve-year-old CeeCee is in trouble. For years she’s been the caretaker of her psychotic mother, Camille— the crown-wearing, lipstick-smeared laughingstock of an entire town. Though it’s 1967 and they live in Ohio, Camille believes it’s 1951 and she’s just been crowned the Vidalia Onion Queen of Georgia.
The day CeeCee discovers Camille in the front yard wearing a tattered prom dress and tiara as she blows kisses to passing motorists, she knows her mother has completely flipped. When tragedy strikes, Tootie Caldwell, a previously unknown great-aunt comes to CeeCee’s rescue and whisks her away to Savannah. Within hours of her arrival, CeeCee is catapulted into a perfumed world of prosperity and Southern eccentricities—a world that appears to be run entirely by women.
While Tootie is busy saving Savannah’s endangered historic homes from the wrecking ball, CeeCee encounters a cast of unforgettable, eccentric characters. From the mysterious Thelma Rae Goodpepper, who bathes in an outdoor tub under the watchful eyes of a voyeuristic peacock, to Oletta Jones, the all-knowing household cook, to Violene Hobbs, the loud-mouthed widow who entertains a local police officer in her yellow see-through peignoir, the women of Gaston Street keep CeeCee entertained and enthralled for an entire summer.
But CeeCee’s view of the world is challenged in ways she could have never imagined: there are secrets to keep, injustices to face, and loyalties to uphold. Just as she begins to find her ballast and experiences a sense of belonging, her newfound joy collides with the long-held fear that her mother’s legacy has left her destined for destruction.
Laugh-out-loud funny, at times heartbreaking, and written in a pitch-perfect voice, Saving CeeCee Honeycutt is a spirited Southern tale that explores the intricate frailties and strengths of female relationships while illuminating the journey of a young girl who loses her mother but finds many others
