The Help

I really enjoyed this book!  Set in the 1960's in a small town in Missippi.  Skeeter, a young woman who returns home after graduating from college determined to become a writer decides to write a book "from the point of view of the help".  The help, being black women who have spent their lives taking care of white families and basically raising their children. 
I loved the movie.  I actually saw it twice.  I loved that it is so powerful and evokes every human emotion.  One minute your crying and a minute later you're laughing. 
If you enjoyed the movie you definitely should read the book to gain more depth and understanding!
