THE HELP


An amazing book! My daughter Kim sent this book to us for Christmas. I'm not sure exactly WHO it was for, but I nabbed it and read it first! It was pretty fat (almost 450 pages), so I HAD to put it down once in awhile, but it wasn't easy! Here are some of the comments about it:

Kathryn Stockett has written a wondrous novel. You will be swept away as her characters work, play, and love during a time when possibilities for women were few but their dreams of the future were limitless. A glorious read. (Adriana Trigiani, bestselling author of Big Stone Gap series and Very Valentine)

This heartbreaking story is a stunning debut from a gifted talent. (Sarah Sacha Dollacker, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

You will weep with these ladies. You will laugh with them. You will be on pins and needles, wondering who is going to survive the battle and how she will survive it. It's just an amazing story. Check it out! You won't be sorry!

Kris, here's a good one for your Book Club!

Way ahead of you Mom! We read that one last year, and it was amazing. One of my favorite books we've read.

You should read Sarah's Key, also a terrible good book.
