The Help (****)

In Jackson, Missisippi, segregation is very strong.  Unfair wages.  Extreme civil rights differences for the African Americans and Whites.  Skeeter has been different most of her life.  She had a very close friendship with Constentene, her nanny, and African American.  She didn't agree with the unfair treatment.  So with the help of 12 negro women they write a book of the best and the worst times with their employers.

This book is 531 pages long.  I'll give it a four out of five. (****)
THE HELP
