The Help

July's pick for book club was "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett.  It was full of rich characters - three of whom we see the story unfold through and around which in the beginning was hard to follow until I could figure out who was who.  This book was, for me, a fresh perspective on civil rights painted by those who lived in Mississippi in the 1960's without being tragic or preachy. I simply loved this book. Once in a while a book comes along and actually lives up to the hype it is given - this is one of those times! Highly recommended...
