The Help by Kathry Stockett
The Help was one of last year's Name That Book reads and is incontrovertibly this summer's must read!
Here are a few quote from Stockett's synopsis:
"Skeeter has just returned home after graduating from Ole Miss. She may have a degree, but it is 1962, Mississippi, ... she would normally find solace in her beloved maid Constantine, the woman who raised her, but Constantine has disappeared"
"Aibileen is a black maid, a wise, regal woman raising her seventeenth white child. Something has shifted inside her after the loss of her own son, who died while his bosses looked the other way."
"Minny, Aibileen's best friend... finds a position working for someone too new to town to know her reputation. But her new boss has secrets of her own."
Our library has several copies. Pick one up and read it before the movie premieres in August.
