If I had known before I picked this book up that it was compared to "The Help", I would have left it on the shelf. I didn't care for "The Help" (I realize I'm in the minority here) and this book wasn't much better. I was intrigued by the fact that there really was a Tawawa House in Ohio and was hoping for more "history" to the "historical fiction." Other than the adult situations suggested in the book, it seemed as though I was reading a YA selection designed for high school English classes. In short, a disappointment.
