This book by Kathryn Stockett has been highly popular for a while.  Its an amazing story.  It shows you how people really were and sometimes still are to black people.  Its a triumphant story of how they stand up to the rudeness and hate that is thrown at them.  Its in the perspective of a few maids and a white woman who wants to write a book about the help (the black women working in homes).  This story really is a heart warming story.  I cannot get over how much I loved it for the raw emotion and greatness of the story.  She really made it seem like you were really in these women's lives and thoughts.  I found it to be very very delightful.  I would definitely recommend this book to anyone.  I would give it a ten out of ten.
