I have been hearing about this book for a long time. Now that the movie is out, I finally got around to reading it. Many times when you have high expectations, you end up disappointed. This book, however; lives up to the hype.
This is not just a book about the Civil Rights movement. It's about relationships, human nature and trying to find your place. Not only does it show how cruel white bosses could be to their help, there are also examples of positive, loving relationships between these women. It's a book everyone should read.
