I have finished one of the most endearing books I have ever listened to. When someone explained the book to me, I was less than interested, actually blew it off. How lucky I was to buy the audio book from itunes, what a great listen. It is about the 60's and the south and how white people, mostly woman treated their colored help. Done through the lives of the Black help, it has a whole different perspective than we are used to. It is done in the voices of black woman and one white woman. You have to listen to it to get the whole picture, the accents of southern woman makes the whole story come to life. I laughed at some spots and was ashamed in others, ashamed that anyone could treat a human being less than they are. I strongly suggest that if you get the book please get the Audio book, it is well worth the listen.

I read the book when it first cam eout. A group from my church went on 08/13/11 to see it at the theater. It was wonderful and heart lifting. We all loved the movie and had nothing but good things to say about it.
