For the first few pages, I wasn't sure I was going to like this book. Boy did that change! I ended up urgently reading a chapter in every stolen moment I could. I was so enthralled by the story, saddened to realize that this is really the way it was for so long (and those attitudes unfortunately still exist in some today) and I really, really wanted the maids to come out on top. This book will take you thru a whole range of emotions. I just wish it would show up on the required reading lists at the high schools around the country. This book is a stark reminder of why we must never lose sight of the Civil Right advances that have been made and the sacrifices it took from so many to get there. Truly a book that makes you stop and think before you just blindly accept the attitudes/judgments/etc of other people towards a particular race, religion, ethnicity.
