The Help
By Kathryn Stockett
An insightful read that opens curious minds to the world of segregation in 1940s America when small battles had begun questioning the norm of what more can life become for "colored" people in the south. Though simply a shadow of the rich stories in the book, it reminds me of my personal struggle to live with and keep helpers in my own home. There is no written rulebook and so my guidelines are sinply based on the experience of my elders, peers, and what I would think I would like to enjoy if I were in their shoes. I try to emphatize as much as I can yet it is not within my grasp as their world is so much different than my own.
