Looking for Me / Beth Hoffman / 354 pages

I just love chick lit set in the South.  What is it about Southern women that make them so interesting and fun to read about?  Hoffman, who is also the author of Saving CeeCee Honeycutt, shares a great story about Teddi Overman, a young woman who lives her dream of restoring and decorating furniture and having her own antique shop in Charleston, SC.   Hoffman shares Teddi's childhood with the reader so we see her as she constantly seeks the approval of her mother, bears the loss of her brother who simply disappears, and grows into the confident woman who finds herself and his happy in her own skin.  Fun read with great storytelling by the author.
