The price of good help

As I go further into my reading I have learned a lot about these three ladies. My favorite character is still AiBileen, she has had a rough life but she doesn't let it show; which takes quite a bit of courage. While talking to miss. Skeeter, Aibileen let out a little secret that her son, treelore, was going to write a book about being a black boy living in a world filled with white people. The moment the words hit Miss. Skeeters ears they haven't left. The idea inspired her and encouraged her to write a novel about the lives of black maids doing a white woman's dirty work. After much debate and persuasion, Miss. Skeeter received a phone call from Aibileen agreeing to help her with her story. At first their nerves were high and the tip toeing didn't help. But Aibileen came up with a plan to write down her own story and then Miss. Skeeter will change the names and edit it! As of right now the plan seems to be working! AiBileen and Miss. Skeeter seem to even be building a friendship, however, perhaps things are working too well. Miss. Skeeter has been lying to her mom to talk to Aibileen, using church as an excuse to get out of the house. How long until her mother finds out? Things can never stay perfect for very long, it is only a matter of time before they are ruined. Well that's the word on the streets! Fresh Money out.
