While visiting Duchesne, I raided their public library.
Jeannie, Dalaney's mom, is the librarian, so she signed me up for a shiny, new library card declaring my new surname, Hannah Mecham.
I reviewed the NY Times Best-sellers where Katherine Stockett's The Help achieved the #1 spot.
Stockett, a Mississippi native, creates unique characters to portray the social and political environment of Jackson, Mississippi during the early 1960s. Intertwining the perspectives of African-American maids and the privileged white women that they work for, I couldn't put the book down, and I finished it in just three days.
My mom emailed me the other day encouraging me to read The Help, and I chuckled out loud because I was going to recommend it to her.
Turns out, they are now producing a movie based on the book. I can't wait :)
I loved this book! Although it made me frightened of the south (no offense). Did you know I have a book review blog? http://thebluebookcase.blogspot.com
