: All I know is, if you don't figure out this something, you'll just stay ordinary, and it doesn't matter if it's a work of art, or a taco, or a pair of socks! Just create something... new, and there it is, and it's you, out in the world, outside of you, and you can look at it, or hear it, or read it, or feel it... and you know a little more about... you. A little bit more than anyone else does... Does that make any sense at all?" Quote from PS I LOVE YOU

Book Review- The Help by Katheryn Stockett

Let me start off by saying that I normally don't read books like this! I tend to stay away from the books that make me think about slavery or heartbreaking issues! I think about those afflicted and my heart aches for them. I have such a sensitive spirit for those who are suffering that it feels like I suffer with them. Schindler's List nearly killed me!!

That aside, I was convinced to try this book from many dear friends that have loved the movie and the book.

The Help is a book that will make you laugh, cry(a lot), become enraged, and utter words of disgust! You follow 3 main characters and many sub-characters through living life in the early 60's in Jackson, Mississippi. Segregation was alive and rampant during this time! These 3 main characters struggle to figure out the rights and the wrongs of living in this age while they harbor a secret that will change their town forever! I kept turning those pages late into the night waiting to see the fates of these women! And sometimes I felt awkward hearing the secrets of the ladies, worried that they would catch me eavesdropping! Especially about the Terrible Awful!


I know that I left you wondering about the plot of this book but I want you to read it for yourself! Every page will leave you wanting more! So hurry up readers and grab this book!
