'The Help' A Book Review

The HelpThe Help by Kathryn Stockett

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This is a great look at the Civil Rights Era from the inside of a small town.


I lived in Huston Texas in the early 1980's and I was floored by the attitude of the people there.


Reading this book reminded me of how far we have come, and how far there is yet to go.
