Kathryn Stockett - The Help

I am pretty sure every woman on the planet has read this best seller.. but I just wanted to put it out there!!  This book is amazing. It is a bit hard to get into the characters voices at first due to the slang/speach patterns of the south but once you are adjusted you are hooked. Really gives such a heartbreaking perspective of how unfair life was to those born into slavery/race. I found myself seething at "the white folk" until the book turns around when a few of the women have the courage to stand apart from the norm of their social circles and stay true to their hearts and what is right. I loved this book- looking forward to another book from this new talented author!
