THE HELP


Have you read it--this debut novel about the relationship between black maids and the white women they work for, back in the time of desegregation, MLK, the Kennedy assassination, Rosa Parks and Woolworth lunch counter sit-ins? Why not? You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll learn. You'll remember. You'll gain some understanding. You'll do a victory dance. You'll be sorry when it ends.

P.S. Many thanks to bfgb.wordpress.com for the above image.

Yes! It's wonderful. Reading my book club's choice this month is water torture, so I picked up The Help and I can't put it down.
