This fictional book shares with you the differences between blacks and white's in the Jackson, Mississippi during the 1960's. The ordeals that the maids had to endure and yet bite there tongues so not to be fired. I typically would not have chosen this book to read but when I saw the trailer for the movie it intrigued me. I just had to read this before I saw the movie and I'm glad I have. I was so wrapped up into the stories that I didn't want to put the book down. Quick read and highly recommend it.
