The Help

The Help/Kathryn Stockett 451 pg.

It is easy to see why this book has been so popular. Since I've worked at the library, this is the only time I've seen the number of holds c0ntinue to increase on a book. This is the story of Jackson, Mississippi in the 60's. It tells the story of 2 "domestics" and a young white woman who decides that their story needs to be told. Having never lived in the south I don't know if the voices in the book are accurate but they certainly ring true. I certainly get the feeling that this is an important book. - Christa
