If there was a higher recommendation than "Highly" I would have chosen that. This book about revealing the lives of black domestic help in Mississippi in the 50s is realistically written, funny, sad and heroic. I felt the fear of the women (Aibileen and Minny) as they told their stories to the young white woman who desperately wanted to expose the life of blacks but at the same time knew how dangerous it was. This book is a fabulous read.
