I really liked this book. And, it really made me think about how the past still really influences the lives of people today. I have many friends that are different than me. nobody is the same ... Thank goodness!! How boring would it be to know a bunch of people EXACTLY like me?? (And personally, I don't think I would like them that much:) But, we are different in more ways than just "colors" & that is just fine!! I love all my friends!!:))) I am pretty glad I didn't have to grow up in a time where I may have been forced to keep my friends a secret from the world. Why should I have to feel ashamed who my friends are?? They are my friends because I like them for some reason, or another. I should never have to care what anyone else thinks. Boy, I think I would have gotten myself into trouble back then! LOL I feel sad that "Skeeter" ended up with a great friendship with Aibileen, but no one could know :( Books that make you FEEL & reflect on your life or yourself. . . They are the most awesome:)))
