“It's what we believe about ourselves that determines how others see us.”
This month, we discussed Beth Hoffman's "Saving CeeCee Honeycutt." Thanks to Larisa, who was a lovely hostess and provided delightful bruschetta and pasta salad, we had great discussion about life's trials and how best to deal with them. We talked about the strength of women and how we manage to fill the holes in each other's lives. We discussed how, over time, our culture has drastically adjusted its perception and treatment of those who suffer from mental illness. We also discussed the deep impact mental illness can have on family life. We discovered that in the process of "saving CeeCee," all the other characters in the book save themselves as well, a testament to how supporting our loved-ones heals us and makes us stronger.
“It's how we survive the hurt in life that brings us strength and gives us beauty.”
