[...] no secret how much I loved reading The Help by Kathryn Stockett. Imagine my delight when I heard that the film was going to be made [...]

I loved it too. My great aunt grew up in Mississippi, before the time in the book, but she did have "help." She didn't recall any of the extreme stuff (bathroom, etc.), but it was interesting to hear her take (she gave me the book).

Oh, I wish I'd read this yesterday — I read The Help earlier this year, and I thought it was amazing. Would have loved to compare notes with you!

Yes, it was uncomfortable. Yes, it was frustrating. But it was also real. And as a woman who grew up in that place (although not quite that time), I can say that it really was true-to-life.

For good or for bad, she told the truth, and she captured the spirit of what life was like in such a place, in such a time.

Thanks for the book recommedation! I'm kind of a reading junkie — if I have a busy week coming up, I can NOT start reading something or nothing will get done. :o)
