THE HELP
I just finished the most wonderful book that should be a must read for everyone. The Help refers to the black maids of 1963 Jackson Mississippi who cared for the children and families of the deep south. Told from their point of view and the view of the lone white woman who wanted to write their stories this book reflects a time not too long ago when prejudice was rampant and treatment of “Nigras” showed a total disregard of them as equal beings. Run, don’t walk, to get this book.
