Saving CeeCee Honeycutt Read-Along Day Two

How the Read-Along Works

Each day we will read a section of the book Saving CeeCee Honeycutt by Beth Hoffman together.  After reading each section, please feel free to comment, and add your thoughts about the book.  The more input, the better this works!  Comment as little or as much as you want, and feel free to stray from the discussion starters if you have something else about the book you really want to discuss.  Most importantly, have fun as we read this book together!


Read-Along Day 2:  Chapters 3-4 pgs. 27-44

Welcome to our second day of reading and thank you for joining us!  I hope you enjoyed the first two chapters of our book.  In today's reading we find out what happened to CeeCee's mother, and the plans her father has for her to go to Savannah.
Discussion Starters:
  1. CeeCee seems to have a very visual memory, remembering details such as her mother’s red shoes lying in the street, but she can’t actually picture her mother dead. What image finally helped her to do that? Where did CeeCee place God in relation to her mother’s death?
  2. Camille’s illness left CeeCee filled with shame and despair. If she had told Mrs. Odell more of what was going on inside the house, could the elderly woman have done something? Were there any incidents in your own youth that you were afraid to discuss with an adult?
  3. Mrs Odell gave CeeCee some good advice and memorable experiences. What do you think was Mrs. Odell’s best gift to CeeCee? 
  4. CeeCee’s father does not immediately decide to let her go south with Aunt Tallulah. Do you think that he could have made a better choice?

For tomorrow we will be reading Chapters 5-6 pgs. 45-64
