The Help

The lincoln Lawyer was a good book, however, the show must go on! So now I have moved onto a novel called The Help, written by Kathryn Stockett. I've heard marvelous things about this novel, but now it's my turn to see it if the rumors are true. As of now I am one hundred and thirteen pages in, and the rumors seem to be truthful! This novel follows the story of three women in 1962 in the state of Mississippi, one of the most racist states in the United States. Stockett provides an inside look at  the lives of Aibileen Clarks, a black and kind hearted maid, with a sad history; Minny, a black maid who wears her thoughts on her sleeve and never holds back; and Miss. Skeeter, a white socilite fresh out of collage with a degree in Journalism and loads of ambition. From the outside looking in these three women seem to be sterotypical women of the 60's. However, each one has their own personal struggles and beliefs that set them aside from any other woman of the 60's. Well that is the word on the streets! Fresh Money out.
