I really enjoyed this book after getting into it a bit.  I loved that it takes place in Savannah and is just so southern.  I'd say very good writing, excellent plot, excellent solution.

We get to learn about life in southern United States prior to and during the civil war.  The story begins
with a tragedy but there are also some wonderful happy times.  True love is found, slaves bought and
freed, hardships suffered, happiness found.  The slaves in this book are not mistreated but are bought
out of necessity.

This is the story of Tish, a girl from Michigan who moves to a Southern town in Alabama and lives in a Civil War era home. Tish soons learns that the McCombs aren't welcome in the town and to make matters worse, she takes in a troubled hitch-hiker with problems of her own.  Only George seemed to want to give Tish a chance although he didn't really want to give Mel a chance.  Moseley a great job of showing people's strengths and weaknesses through this book.  She showed how the love of God and his Grace can change people and turn them around.  The characters seemed so real that you just felt a part of the story. This was a great book.  I received it free from Waterbrook Multnomah for an honest review and I am so glad that I did.

This is the kind of book that I never want to end.  Southern writing at its best.  Miss Kincaid definately knows her southern people and southern humor. The characters in this wonderful book will stay with me for a long time.  Berry is precious.  I wanted to be her friend & help her along the difficult paths that she had to take.  Please more like this Ms. kincaid.

This is a beautiful love story between a slave woman and the little girl she cares for as a child.  It is the kind of story I love because I know it going to end well and indeed it does.  Both escape the indignities of the pre Civil War in the south and recognize the goodness in each other.  I don't like to tell the ending but it is a good one.  I wept as I got to the end, and I was sitting in a coffee shop reading on my Kindle.

This book was a wonderful read. It was Eudora Weltyesque. I felt it to be a very true portryal of the south for its time period. The characters were well drawn and the prose was of the Welty kind.

I loved the book! It was a sweet love story . It gave a very good description of the Southern dialects of the different parts of the state. It gave some good descriptions of Charleston and Summerville.

If you loved The Help, or if you have a love for the Southern portion of the country in general, you will love this tale.  Cecelia "CeCe" Honeycutt is an outcast in her Ohio town...all due to her mother.  Cece's mother is mentally ill; and although her antics keep the townsfolk tittering, they make Cece the butt of jokes and the object of ridicule in the town and in her school.  She finds solace in her love of reading, and with her beloved elderly neighbor Mrs. Odell.  When a tragedy leaves Cece with alone with the exception of her absentee father, her great Aunt Tootie drives up from Savannah, Georgia to collect her niece...and life as Cece has known it changes forever.  She is introduced to a life of southern charm, hospitality, and affluence the likes of which she has never known.  But what impacts Cece the most is that for the first time she is surrounded with a sea of friends, and love.

A heartwarming story that will make readers everywhere laugh and probably shed a tear.  So completely engulfing that one can almost smell the Georgia peaches.
