The Help by Kathryn Stockett

444 pages..............6 1/2 hours

Stockett's "THE HELP" was turned down 60 times before it was accepted and became a best seller.

Set in the civil rights era of the sixties, a budding journalist decides to write a book about the relationships between "The Help" and their employers.

Raised by a black "Nanny" she feels a special kinship to these ladies who raise other peoples children and cook and clean for them for compensation below minimum wage in order to feed their own.

Good book but I actually enjoyed the movie more which is unusual for me.
