"You is kind, you is smart, you is important"
The help
I just finished The Help by Kathryn Stockett. It is one of the best books I have ever read. Seriously! It is one of those that I wanted to ge to the end to find out what happens, but at the same time I didn't want it to end. I could hardly put the book down!
The Help is about a young white woman in the early 1960s in Mississippi who becomes interested in the plight of the black ladies' maids that every family has working for them. She writes their stories about mistreatment, abuse and heartbreaks of working in white families' homes, all just before the Civil Rights revolution. That is the story in a nutshell - but it is so much more than just stories.
That's all I'm telling you!! Read the book!! It's simply amazing!!
