NancyL Luckey CeeCee is now making the rounds of my sisters and nieces. Of course, I put my name in it so I'd be sure to get it back. I LOVED this book. It reminds me of the Secret Life of Bees which I loved, too.

message 17: by Kathy (new)

Kathy I just started listening to CeeCee yesterday afternoon and came searching for more books by you. What am I to read when I reach the end of CeeCee's story???? I'm going to TRY to dole out my listening time so that I don't finish too soon, but I don't think that will happen. Thank you.


message 18: by Beth (new)

Beth Hi Kathy,

You are so kind. Thank you for making my morning bright! I'm delighted that you're enjoying CeeCee's story. Doesn't Jenna Lamia do a fantastic job of narration?


message 19: by Kathy (new)

Kathy Indeed, Jenna Lamia's voice is perfection for your book.


message 20: by Beth (new)

Beth I agree. I was so pleased when I first heard her narrate CeeCee that I got a bit choked up.

Beth Thank you, Nanette! I'll be eager to hear what you think of CeeCee's story.

I hope you're enjoying a beautiful spring!
