Addiction

I admit it:

I am addicted to reading.

This week I read, The Help by Kathryn Stockett.

Amazing!

This is the story of three women who lives cross paths in Jackson, Mississippi in the 1960s. Two black women and one white women live their lives, but slowly their lives begin to intertwine. Two women are maids and one is a college graduate, questioning the world she lives in. The story is fast paced and pulls you in. These women become friends as the reader becomes part of their daily routine. Occassionally keeping track of their different lives gets a little hard, but it is worth it. These women are strong and inspirational. The reader will fight along with them and become captivated in their lives. This is a must read!
