The Help - by Kathryn Stockett

Another great Novel! Again, I have had this book on my reading list for over a year and finally got around to reading it. I thoroughly enjoyed it and was sad when I turned the final page late last night. I highly recommend this book! Not to mention that the author is a University of Alabama graudate! Also, a movie is being made and is set to be released August 12, 2011 starring Emma Stone.

Trailer to the movie..........

“Set in Mississippi during the 1960s, Skeeter (Emma Stone) is a southern society girl who returns from college determined to become a writer, but turns her friends’ lives — and a small Mississippi town — upside down when she decides to interview the black women who have spent their lives taking care of prominent southern families. Aibileen (Viola Davis), Skeeter’s best friend’s housekeeper, is the first to open up — to the dismay of her friends in the tight-knit black community. Despite Skeeter’s life-long friendships hanging in the balance, she and Aibileen continue their collaboration and soon more women come forward to tell their stories — and as it turns out, they have a lot to say. Along the way, unlikely friendships are forged and a new sisterhood emerges, but not before everyone in town has a thing or two to say themselves when they become unwittingly — and unwillingly — caught up in the changing times.”

I can't wait to see this movie!!!
