April Book Club Meeting
Host: Cindy
Book: The Help, by Kathryne Stockett
Response of the Book Club Members: The book club members dearly loved this novel set in the Mississippi delta in the twentieth century and dealing with the trials, tribulations, joys, and sorrows of being the black "help" serving the white "plantation owners" and raising the children of the "plantation owners". One line that summed up the situation was when one of the maids noted that the babies love us now but they will grow up and treat us just like their parents treat us now.
