The Help - Kathryn Stockett


I unabashedly loved this book!  It was such a great read.  The main characters were sympathetic and compelling, while the supporting characters created great drama (admittedly, the bulk of these characters were far from sympathetic).  While the topic is challenging, the book was written in such a way that you just fly through it.  It was really hard to put down at night.

This book tells the story of three women from Mississippi who pull together to tell the stories of domestic help in the southern context.  The challenges associated with this task are brilliantly described here.  I don't want to give much more away, but I do encourage you to pick this book up.  I don't think you'll be disappointed.

5/5 Stars
