"The Help" - Novel of Page Turning, Gripping, Emotional Character Involvement)

Name your image (search engines likey :) This is a novel of the deep south. During the 1960's, a time of unrest, civil rights, John F Kennedy and Martin Luther King. A time of inequality by either gender or race. A time of genteel living marred by unfair labor.

However, it is also a novel of gumption. Of courage and heart. It will make you laugh and cry. You will be outraged and soothed. It is a defeat and victorious. It is the story of three women, two black and one white and all the other characters around them. Why and how is explained in delightful compelling detail. You will not be able to put this book down. I promise.
